So a handful of people at the banquet would know that there is a very valid personal reason for so and so to be leaving, but the entire roomful of devoted fans would be completely unaware of it, and, therefore, thinking (properly, for the information they had) that she was just turning her back on the program like the young lady at Ohio State. And that wouldn't be uncomfortable or awkward?
With respect to Sasha, or others like her, without revealing anything about her personal life or medical situation, she could simply have stated that she really wanted to be at home and was going to do so. And Sasha did exactly that - went home, and announced it, as I recall, within days of entering the portal. In other words, her motivation was geared toward going to a specific destination. In the case of the 46 currently in the portal from the PAC 12, the motivation would seem to be geared toward leaving a specific place to go who knows where.
I can readily see an understanding of Sasha's departure being manifested at a banquet, and the general vibe being comfortable for everybody. I can see the same for a grad transfer, like Taya, moving on. I can't envision that in the case of the other 3 here or for their hundreds of counterparts at other universities.
