As of now it's 4 years before you can be drafted or graduate in three.    Oer drop out of school for a year to play overseas which has happened.

We just lost two women golfers to the Pro tour.    They aren't elite?   

Another weird tread OF.    Why wouldn't Baylor or UConn or South Carolina lose players?????

They will. But they will also have the ability to recruit more such players in a way Stanford won't. Maybe the fact girls tend to be higher achieving than boys  in general when younger, will mitigate the shrinking of Stanford WBB's pool of available elite recruits because there will still be a good number of Stanford-eligible athletes.  I am skeptical this will be the case.
