Ruef was so eager to return that she decided to be on the team, while she was in a masters program in engineering, even tho there was no scholarship. Then Toni Kokenis decided that her concussion situation was too severe for her to play and she gave up her scholarship after the season began (or maybe it was after practice had begun -- can't remember, but it was after the school year had begun). That was the scholarship that Ruel was given.

Thanks!  I thought it was something like that. 

The point I wanted to make is that Tara was fully prepared to go into that season with 16 on the roster, with a walk-on expected to play.  No reason the same should not be true for next year.  That is why I doubt the Carrington thing is related to the number of scholarships, the order of the ask for a redshirt, etc.
