Bronco axed Kona. CB is going crazy.

what exactly is being triggered when an offer is made and accepted prior to LOI day?

As far it relates to the Kona situation, that the offer is contingent upon a recruit not continuing to take official recruiting visits elsewhere.

Read about what Brian Kelly, the new coach at Notre Dame, has to say about commitments and continuing to see other schools:

If Apo is offered by Texas over a year prior to LOI day, he isn't filler.

According to Rivals, Texas has two 5 star recruits and 19 4 star recruits. They have five 4 star WR's. Texas can pick up the phone and replace a Ross Apo in 10 minutes.

As far as Apo goes, I will be consistent. I think it was fair of him to break his committment, we all know they aren't real committments anyway. If they were why the heck would we make such a big deal of them on signing day.

I wonder. When other schools have kids decommit, does it rise to the level of the kid can't be trusted and maybe has unclean habits. I don't follow other schools, so maybe this isn't unique to BYU fans.

So? Filler recruits don't get offers more than 12 months prior to LOI Day. They clearly viewed Apo as something significantly more than filler, regardless of whether or not they could go restock their cupboard.

It sure has been fun to watch people fight in this thread. I've especially enjoyed the "contracts gone awry" exchange between Indy and DDD. In some tangential way it helps me feel like I'm studying for the bar exam.

And that is why it's not a double standard and my girlfriend analogy works. If your girlfriend wants to go on a date with another person then she is not 100% committed to you.

so back to square 1, why is this additive to the discussion? maybe I am missing your great point.

The general discussion here is that Kona should not be penalized for seeking further light and knowledge vs Bronco was simply doing that which has been done in other worlds.

Your point seems to be that fig leaves make good aprons.

Nice point, but not really part of the overall mysteries being explored here today.

So what you are saying is if you and Gidget were just hanging out and she said, you know I am going to go on a date with DDD. You would be like well I like you but we have yet to have the DTR talk and I am seeing a few other girls as well weighing my options so go right ahead. After she goes out with DDD she realizes he sucks and comes back to you and tells you she really likes you. You tell her the feeling is mutual and you start dating exclusively. About 6 months go by, and you are set to get married. A week before your wedding she says:

"Surfah this hot stud muffin Cougjunkie just came by and asked me out, I am good friends with his sister and her husband. Is it cool if I go on a date with him I dont really like him (although he is totally dreamy) but I want to hang out with his sister and her husband and he is buying my dinner!"

You would obviously be very upset as your chances of marrying Gidget after she goes on a date with Cougjunkie are about .000000000000000000001%.

This hypo is totally unintelligible. It is worse than huskyfreenorthwest's cheese hypothetical.

You admittedly made an erroneous statement and I was trying to set the record straight. You then proceeded to wander off waxing poetic about legal implications and whether or not an actuary is licensed to use the term "triggering event" even if he wasn't using it in a legal sense.

If you had bothered to read my intial reply to you carefully enough and stayed on topic, this would have been over 20 posts ago.

So what you're saying is that your program is the same calibre of Notre Dame's? junkie, don't sell yourself short. Not only were you sexy 50 years ago, but you're still sexy today.

Looks like someone else just made the un-invite list.

Junkie will get a warning, but I will leave it up to Gidget. She is truly the offended party in this hypo. She wasn't event given the opportunity to get to know me. Everyone has a bad date here and there.
