FWLIW, I heard via third-hand hearsay that Carrington was told there would not be a scholie available for her for next season; thus, the portal.

If true, that puts some theories bandied about in these parts into question.

That would comport with the bad feeling I was getting when Carrington no longer seemed to be wearing a brace of any kind but was nevertheless in jeans and not dressed for games. I suspect at some point mid-season she realized she'd rather preserve her eligibility than squander a year on our remaining handful of games. 

Given how the season ended, I can't imagine she's disappointed by her decision. It does suck, however, because she got so much less than the proper send-off she deserved.
