Too many holes...
 
1) truthfully, making a verbal commitment binding would be darn near impossible.  Rarely holds up in court now, let alone the ensuing finger pointing this would cause. 
2) outside of the top 10 or so schools, the lower level schools wouldn't see a commitment until just prior to signing day.. this would actually be more costly to schools than a flipped commitment, because you now have to wait and keep spending those dollars to visit recruits who won't show their hands.
3) $1M for recruiting an already recruited kid?  How could this ever be justified?  How did you come up with such an arbitrary $?  I would fathom a bet that our recruiting budget for the year isn't $25M, so not sure how it would be justified to have such a substantial penalty.
4) Truthfully, yanking the final year of a scholly because a potential student changed schools is assinine.  First, how is giving a student a 3-yr scholly appropriate?  That's like a used car salesman selling you lemon.. it will get you 75% of your way to work every morning.  The other 25%, you can just figure out some sort of other transit.  Schollies right now are only year by year, so this would just penalize these kids from being able to successfully complete their degree.
