@varska Athletes signing scholarships and not signing NLI’s has been happening in top tier college basketball for a while. One of the “savvy” coaches using it as an advantage is coach Calipari (he was pushing the envelop in 2007/08 http://www.aseaofblue.com/2009/10/27/1103834/the-calipari-rule). It’s one of the reasons he is able to stack his recruiting classes, because his recruits know they can leave if they want to.

I suspect it will become much more common.
