It seems like this is something new the last couple of years. What is the benefit for either party in having a "conditional" offer? Casey Filkins has an "offer" from Oregon, but he cannot accept the offer and make a commitment at this time. In other words, the offer only stands if the Ducks miss out on players they have rated ahead of Filkins
In fact, Casey Filkins is NOT being offered a scholarship from the University of Oregon. What they are doing is telling him that they like him as a player and may offer him a scholarship down the road, depending on how he plays, and how recruiting at his position shakes out. Why not just tell him that? Is this an everybody gets a trophy deal? Is it just the psychology of showing some half hearted love. I'm asking you to marry me with the condition that 10 other women I like more than you turn me down, So, you got THAT going for you, Mr. Filkins!
This is not a big deal, but strikes me as both funny, and unnecessary
