What do you do if your parents DON'T sign your NLI

I keep reading all of these stories about parents that don't want their kids to go to a particular school and would rather stay home and not leave for whatever reason. I also know that you need a parent to sign the NLI with you for it to become official. But what do you do if they refuse to sign it at all? Say for example your mom is a nutjob and and your dad is gone. You live in Alabama and want to get as far away as possible. You get a scholarship from Washington State, and only WSU. But your mom wants you to stay home and not leave her and she refuses to let you leave and go to school. What do you do? Or if you want to go to Vanderbilt, but your mom wants you to go to Tennessee and refuses to let you go to college unless you pick Tennessee? It just seems to me that these parents are being cruel to their children by not letting them go where they will be happy. But what do you do? How can any player go to the school they want if their parents refuse?

Depends on what an NLOT is.

First of all, a student-athlete doesn't have to sign a NLI to receive an athletic scholarship and be eligible to play, much less need a parents signature ... a parents sig is needed for the NLI to be valid and binding, but the NLI is voluntary to begin with and designed to benefit the school more than the player ... I don't know why kids sign them in the first place. If you sign an NLI and the head coach leaves, you're screwed ... if you don't sign one and he leaves, you're free to go wherever, unless already enrolled and subject to NCAA transfer rules ... but at least you wouldn't have to fight the NLI.

If you're 18 you don't need your parents to sign it.

If the kid is 18, then what the heck is the parents' signature required for? At 18, you're an adult for all purposes except booze. You can even sign on the line for the military without parental permission. Why the heck would an NLI be any different?

Agreed as stated before parents aren't needed for NLI.
