I don't know any of the "contingencies" however I think I heard something about Angel City securing the rights to Thompson's contract. I could have heard wrong so don't quote me. 

There is a case to be made for her to go the college route or professional. At this time, with her missing out on the world cup, I would hope she would go to Stanford for two years then declare but on the other hand maybe she is aiming for the Olympics and playing in the NWSL gives her more exposure against stronger competition.

And staying two years also would give her the chance to play a year (and perhaps win a National Championship with) her younger sister!

And Sophia Smith did great in her development after spending 2 years at Stanford.  She just won the US Female Player of the year, the youngest to earn the award since Mia Hamm:  Sophia Smith wins U.S Female Player of the Year (Notably Alyssa was a close 2nd in the voting for Young Female Player of the Year.)
