It is a legally binding contract and breaking it can cause you to be sued for breach of contract.

It is not a legal contract.

That doesn’t mean it’s right. The biggest issue is that the student is harming the coach’s recruiting class.

He can’t be forced to attend the ED school, but he might lose admission or scholarship money among other ramifications at another school.
