I see it differently. I think the new 5 in 5 rule is favorable to Stanford WVB. I believe more Stanford players would be inclined to want a MS degree paid by Stanford than players at other schools would want an MS. A fifth year starter is almost always going to be more valuable than a freshman.

I wonder if she wants to play with her sister for a year. Regardless, I’m glad that she got her degree and that she let the coaches know well in advance so they can plan.
