The only way a school can back out of a letter of intent is if the 
student-athlete is denied admission to the school.  It is otherwise 
binding.

The student-athlete signs the letter of intent to attend the school, 
not play for the coach, so schools will rarely let a player out of 
the letter of intent.  To back out of a letter without a release will 
cost a student-athlete two years of eligibility.
