I received a scholarship in sports. I Signed my scholarship and was approved in November with my application.The coach calls me Jan 17 and says the academic board changed their minds and would not give me a reason why I was not admitted.I have a 29 on ACT and a 1980 on SAT. We cannot figure it out.I have a signed contract so can I sue the University?
What sort of “contract” is this. A letter of intent? Or is it a legally binding commitment to let you play?
I highly doubt any college would expose itself to litigation in the event an applicant isn’t accepted.
Legal advice comes from lawyers, not from the Internet
There must be more to this story. D1 and D2 schools usually follow the guidelines to a T. Signings tend to be very public. Can’t imagine a school would renege unless it became apparent that the student has become ineligible either academically, in terms of amateur status or rule violation regarding betting. D3 doesn’t do scholarships. Nor does Ivy. But, OP, you know more about this then you are posting here, I’d bet.
Did your GPA drop? Did you get into trouble with drugs, drinking, cheating or something similar?
