Yes, CiCi has been declining prize money for years. Her dad works in PE and they live in Atherton, so I don't think the prize money she's making as a 17-year-old will make or break the family. My guess is they view Stanford as a 40-year investment, and even if she does well as a pro, she'll still need something else to do in 10 or 15 years. To this end, it would be entirely smart to enroll for a year, turn pro, and then be able to return to Stanford later on. She's fun to watch and has tremendous fighting spirit, so she'd be a terrific addition to the Farm.
