The BCS (or whatever it will soon be called) has announced they have Reid Sigmon, Senior Associate AD and Chief Operating Officer for Kansas State Athletics, as Chief Financial Officer.

A lot has been written about the National Letter of Intent, enough that most fans understand the basic premise: An athlete signs the NLI, gets an athletic scholarship for a year, and agrees to attend the school.
