While my two collegiate sons did not sign a NLI, there is a good possibility my third son will be in this positon in about 364 days from now. Given the fact that the e-mail list is a real "Who's Who" in the sports world (I see some ucla.edu's, a few Pac-10's and numerous other addresses that allude to sports), I cannot help but wonder why there is not a leader among us who will take the helm, work with a sports attorney and/or agent, and work with the NCAA to draft the appropriate document that can truly embody the letter of the law and spirit of the law so that the new "Memorandum of Understanding" will not leave the scholar-athlete out in the cold and will provide some degree of accountability to recruiting coaches and head coaches and the college or university should they decide that the grass is greener at another institution.
