So you think an early commit brings more money? An early commit is a verbal commit. The player still has to carry a decent GPA and do well on their SAT/ ACT's.
Early commit doesn't bring more money to potential player.
Of course it does, what don't you see? Have you been through this? I have, early = better cash. Yes, you still need to get grades and SAT, but at least in my house, that is not an issue.
