Briefly

"I think it's a big milestone for anyone signing. You get to take a breath of fresh air and you get to look forward for the next four years of your life." - Teagan O'Dell, reflecting on the significance of the new 'Athletic Commitment Celebration'.
"Honestly, I don't know because they just changed it," said Torres, highlighting the lack of clarity and information surrounding the shift from letters of intent to grants in aid.

The grant in aid is so new that some athletes committed long ago are unaware of the changes, illustrating the transition phase college sports are currently navigating.
