In response to BUFan
How does it work if everyone were to want to accept the offers? Is it first come, first served to get the scholarships? For example, if one of the SG accepts, would we immediately rescind the offer to the other SG?
.
Your view is fairly accurate. Since no offers (or acceptances) are legally binding, it is possible to have dozens of offers outstanding. Even if an offer to Player B hadn't been rescinded yet after an acceptance from Player A, and Player B tried to commit, the offer could be rescinded after the attempted commitment. But as you say, they try to rescind any offers that are no longer valid following an acceptance from a different player.
Also an offer may be conditional, where each player is told it is first come first served. Additionally offers sometimes have time limits, where the offer is off the table after some period of time. This might happen following an official visit. I know that one of the better Bison players did not accept quickly enough after his visit and had to then wait a week to commit while a time-limit offer was on the table to another player who ultimately went to a different PL school.
