So what does an "offer" mean if it's not committable?

The real question seems to be, "How many offers has UT extended so far?"

I would bet that they've extended at least 50 "offers" so far though they'll only be able to honor 25 or so of them. And how many offers were still out there from UT on NSD this month for elite players et al. that were never taken - probably 70 or so.

Thus, our conundrum...

IMO things are usually understood by most kids and coaches but this kid kinda misunderstood....I think his coach said that.,,evidenced by the fact he went on social media before talking to coaches..,,prob learned a good lessen....

It actually sounds to me like Terry Fair was the misunderstood one in all this. It sounds to me like Terry took the kids commitment and did not have the authority to do so. I don't think the kid misunderstood anything.

Think of an offer from a school like an offer from a potential buyer of a home in the real estate world. It shows serious interest, however, certain terms still have to be met before both parties come to an agreement and close.

VERY good analogy!

If a school offers a scholarship, that should mean that if it's accepted then the school is obligated to keep their word. If a player commits, they too should be obligated to keep their word. If that's not the case they need to find a different term for the word "offer" & the word "commit"
