TCU has created a program for post masters athletes.  Agnes,  Prince and now Van Lith

I worried about this in 2019. I realized that a program doesn’t need the high cost, high risk underclassmen at all if they could collect the grad students. Pay for them one year only. No waiting to see if they develop. 

At the [WVB] BBQ, I wish I'd asked Madeline Gates just when she decided to graduate early [a 2nd string All-American from UCLA] & try to get in Stanford.  I understood her to indicate she really came for the grad school in statistics, but you have to figure she was thinking of trying to join this team, esp. since it was down a middle.  (I'd also like to understand why she didn't talk to Hambly before her acceptance at Stanford.  Maybe she knew she'd definitely be accepted.)  While I'm glad she joined Stanford, I fear the grad transfer rule can be abused to benefit top teams at the expense of other teams.
