I think this is my point. Runner was recruited by two distance coaches that are now gone and the rumor is they are bringing in a sprint head coach. The current distance coach, an unpaid assistant until this year, is apparently going to follow the head coach that is leaving. Complete upheaval in the ranks.

Yeah, it is common knowledge that you sign with the school and not the coach, but heck the kids wants to go to a distance centric school. And the assistant distance coach, who actually recruited him left 3 months ago.

Is there a way to contact other schools without asking for a release from a D1 school?

Also sounds like of the top distance runners are following the head coach.

re: pointzone

you could look at naia schools as well... probably not your preferred option if your top fifteen in the country, but if you're desperate that is another option

Top 15 runner in country in 3200/1600 coach just left. If granted release can the runner still change mind and run for signed school or have all ties been cut? Is their still money available for an athlete of this caliber this late in the summer? Advice, past experiences please help!

Do you know why you got a new coach? I am an upcoming senior and have had 3 coaches in college so far. Each coach has been great in different ways and each coach has led me success in different events. Just give this coach a try before attempting to find a new school. One coach even help me knocked off 3 minutes in my 5k this year and learn to train/run for the 10k in track!

This is a major violation of your NLI.

You could make yourself unable to compete at any school by contacting them. You can even get the school in trouble if you are not honest with th about having signed an NLI already.

Why do people have no respect for a contract?
