How is that NOT a contractual agreement?
Contracts don't necessarily need to be in writing. Dude is acting like they have an agreement. LSU acts in reliance on the agreement (proved by the kid's behavior), and now LSU has suffered damages on several levels.
LSU should enforce his behavior as if a letter of intent and force his punk arse to sit out a year before playing elsewhere, plus loss of red shirt.
The FAA is non binding - or at least it is designed to be.But with the ruling by the SEC the FAA is binding - but only to the school. That's messed up. Nothing like a NLOI. Kid signs the FAA, LSU contacts him regularly and within the rules set forth, and then the kid decommits. The SEC comes back on LSU and states that they had impermissable contact with the kid. That's what is BS. It was not against the rules when LSU was contacting him. Then - wait for it - an 18 year old kid changes his mind - and LSU is left to pay for it? BS... BS... BS.

One more thing. If this is the penalty for one offense and self reporting, what will it be when three kids bail and another school turns you in?
When the enforcement of rules is arbitrary and exceeds the offense (there is no victim here) you only encourage cheating.
And of course, now there is a nifty way to set up other schools. Which helps nobody.
