As his post points out, academically eligible student-athletes who enroll in January are now allowed to sign aid agreements with universities as early as Aug. 1.

What does this mean?

According to Woodbery, the Vols had players sign aid agreements last month. He writes, "By the letter of the law, those players wouldn't count against the SEC's signing limit. They're freebies, if you will."

I hope so! That signing limit is stupid, and I believe Saban has already had some players sign an aid agreement, right?

Agree that the signing limit is stupid. To go even further, the 25/85 limits are stupid and hurt student athletes in the name of "parity".

That said, if he tries to do something just because the rules don't strictly prohibit it when the spirit of the rule is clear, I would bet on a punishment.

No they will still count against the 25. They will still sign an loi and still count. This is what happens when people who aren't in any kind of know try to figure out how "the numbers are gonna work". They start making stuff up, guessing and writing about it.
