Why do you think her plan was to transfer? That didn’t seem to be her plan at all

So your thinking is Brown was completely blindsided and just found out from the staff that she doesn't have a scholarship for next year and now has to change her plans and is in the portal? Doubt it. These conversations don't just happen solely after the season is complete and not a minute before. Pretty sure her future with the program would have been discussed and she would have known where she stood prior to now.

That's not what I said.  Maybe, as you intimate, the staff said 'we don't see you in our plans next season' a long time ago.  So Jenna is just graduating and hoping to play somewhere else next season.

Maybe they said, we do see you in our plans and hope you can get admitted to a graduate program here.

BTW, do you think that "Admissions as a shield" is used in grad programs, too, as it was reportedly used by football with offered recruits that Stanford no longer wanted, especially under Harbs?  [I assume, but don't know, coaching staffs can signal to Admissions how badly they want player for next season].

There are LOTS of possibilities - and my point is not all of them come up roses in terms of player contentment.  And I don't think it's that controversial of a position . . . except on the Cardboard.
