I don't believe they were contracts, they were enrollment forms. And like Itoldyouso said, they paid a nonrefundable fee. I guess this was to hold their spot, but they didn't have to make a decision until after the school year was complete. Now, what would have happened, if said student showed up at BA and took part with the football team in spring practice, but then decided that he didn't like BA and no longer wanted to attend in the fall. Would he have been able to go to his zoned school and not be penalized?
