I bet we see these runners make the move:

Women: Katie Rainsberger, Jess Hull, Lilly Burdon

Men: Brodey Hasty, Levi Thomet (and maybe) Cooper Teare

How much are you willing to bet?

A fartzillion megabucks!

Why, what info do you have? You know something interesting?

i'll take 1:4 odds on a fartzillion megabucks if can be paid in doge coin.

It would make sense. Follow your successful coach to a better university in a better location.

Perhaps Reed Brown?

If I was recruited to Oregon by the Powell's I would then want a release from my NLI and move to UW where the coaches that recruited me moved to.

If my coach moved, and was the class of the Powell's, I would most definitely transfer to that school.

Once you sign letter of intent as an incoming freshman aren’t you obligated for one year. Why would Oregon release you? You sign with the school not the coach.

...because they are a public educational institution, not a professional sports team?

I think a lot depends on who they are able to bring in to coach each gender. They can probably keep most of they find the right coaches i.e VanHoy

I think you should go read the rules of the letter of intent.

Because not releasing would be terribly bad karma, not that Oregon would be concerned about karma.

Not that your favorite college, or any college would be.

Hey, in a pinch, Vin Lananna could coach XC and Distance.

Vin already has three other jobs, which he somehow collects full time salaries for despite providing part time work.

He rarely watches TV. And only sleeps 5 hours a night.

He's so dedicated to track and field, he can sketch out training plans in those 5 non-awake hours.

Why Vin is so incredible, he can do it all.

;)

Letters of intent have no place in amateur scholastic athletics.

Yes they do, when coaches have to plan out fielding a full team and allocating scholarships.

1. ehh, could easily do this w/o letters of intent. Fielding a full team? Not too hard to get 7 runners to show up if you area d1 school. In the case of track, a lot of shcools don't field a full team anyway.

2. Allocating scholarships: maybe just allocate them after the season based on performance. Or if you really want the athlete to come to your school and are willing to take a risk then guarantee the scholarship before the season. More than one way to do this. it's just school sports, not that big a deal.

It's funny how attached people get to the way things are currently being done.

They could always sue you for $0.
