In any case, it sounds like I'm not convincing a lot of folks, so I guess we can agree to disagree.

Well said. My comment re Baylor was about its approach to athletes and academics, but there is no reason to assume that applies to grad school. If Baylor has the programs she wants, it may well be a good choice for her.





Don't assume you aren't convincing people just because the convinced remain silent. I didn't jump in here because, frankly, it feels kind of judgmental either way, and I kind of don't think it's any of our business. Lord almighty am I glad members of the public weren't speculating and sneering at my choices of majors and grad programs when I was 22. What she does on the court is fair game for public scrutiny, but as far as I'm concerned, her educational pursuits are her own business and we should encourage all of our alums to be successful at whatever they pursue, regardless of where they do it, rather than mock the comparative prestige of their choice of program. 

Carrington did great things for Stanford basketball while earning dual degrees. I wish her well in the next stage of her career, and I am confident she will find career success regardless of where she begins her graduate studies. She will always bleed Cardinal red, and I will always look fondly on her time as a member of the WBB team.
