_________ Complete Release
A Complete Release permits the above-named student to attend any U SPORTS member institution without being subject to the LOI
Penalty. It releases both the institution and the student from any further LOI obligations. Additionally, the LOI Recruiting Restrictions
are no longer in effect, allowing the student to be recruited by other U SPORTS member institutions.
_________ No Release
Selecting the No Release option keeps the Letter of Intent in tact, thereby subjecting the student to the LOI Penalty. In this situation,
the student may appeal to the U SPORTS Eligibility Committee for a release. In that event, the institution will be required to provide
documentation supporting its decision to the U SPORTS office.
