In my daughters experience her NLI actually saved her for one year. She was playing basketball at an NAIA school and was receiving 18K a year for bb and a separate amount for academics. Signed a new letter prior to soph year but this year she tore her ACL and was out the whole season, signed again summer before junior year but this time the coaches that recruited her were fired and the new coaches cut her. (thats a whole story altogether)… regardless, she had signed and they still had to give her 18K her junior year even though she spent basically zero time with basketball. Sure it was not a happy ending but at least she got her money for 3 years when she only actually “played” two. This year she is an RA to pay room and board and graduating in May.
