That definitely got my hopes up for future seasons, and I hope for a good reason. I know the 2019 Chinese commit on the mens side was removed from the team, but remained in school, but I'm hoping the fact that AA remains on the roster, etc. means those who know the most remain optimistic. I would assume that if she isn't cleared by next season they may announce a formal retirement. |

Comments from teammates was “it could be a few weeks, a few months or a few years.”
Sounds like its something she could mature out of it.

And mature out of it is s a different way of presenting it. So could be a few "weeks" means someone will bring then it up again?
This young lady obviously wants to be left alone at this point. Hope those that see her respect that.

I'm going to go off on a bit of a tangent here, and comment on the whole issue of liability. Personally, I don't see any reason why another entity (the university) would assume any liability for the actions of any individual, or collective group of individuals, who are engaging in those actions of their own free will, regardless of whether they are representing the university at the time of said actions.
In this instance, the young lady has an unnamed medical condition that, presumably, could cause problems if she played competitive basketball. I assume, with high confidence, that she has been advised not to do so while the condition exists, and both she and the university have agreed that she should not. In the meanwhile, the university is honoring her scholarship, and everybody's doing things right here. I'm good with what's happening, and I don't need to know anything more specific.
But what if a student athlete has some condition that doctors say "might" cause a problem, but it is far from a sure thing. The athlete has had the risks explained fully to her, but is willing, even eager, to compete anyway. Should the university have any liability then? What if a student with a similar condition found herself on the far northwest edge of campus with a class on the far southeast corner starting in 4 minutes, opted to run full out to get there, and aggravated the condition as a result? Is the university liable if it knew about her condition, is it liable for damages because it didn't prevent her from running across its campus to get to its class?

Is the university liable if it knew about her condition, is it liable for damages because it didn't prevent her from running across its campus to get to its class? I can't wrap my head around this one. I'd have skipped that class and headed to Dixon. |

Come on... you've been around the block. Especially in today's society, signed waiver or not, the university OS liable and so could the coaching staff via civil suit. In cases like you describe the athlete has zero choice unless they want to find a school willing to take the risk. |

Of course I know how the world works - doesn't make it right. If civil litigation worked on the 'loser pays' premise, perhaps more people would take a common sense approach to it.
But this is way off the main topic of women's hoops, so let's drop it.

Get what your saying but it is a different world in 2019. Laundry pod lawsuits as an example. Can Tide watch every kid in their own home? |
