Verbals are just promises . . . and they can and are broken on occasion. However, verbals are actually rarely broken so they do happen for the most part and that happens because a coach and his/her program have a reputation to uphold. Nevertheless, each aspiring athlete has to be very careful during this part of the passage. Perhaps that’s another one of the reasons why athletics is so risky in the first place. A lot of stars have to be in alignment for all of these athletic admissions/scholarships to come to pass anyway. As I understand it, the Ivies force people to wait, wait, wait. Other universities of high caliber have their own systems that can legally lock up their athletes early on. We’re taking the position that if there is no official document sealing the deal, come normal application time, my daughter is applying like all the other high school seniors in the US. I call it Plan B.
