 Casey Jacobsen was fortunate that his opportunity was in the NBA, which you don't object to. Canady doesn't have a similar option. Why are these two cases different? On that we just disagree, which is fine :-).

Yes, that is a tough comparison, but it is tough because of the relevant external job market, of which fairness is not a characteristic. But in view of her apparent academic chops, perhaps that means she's a person who would be readmitted as a transfer, were that required (and clearly would be if she had eligibility left and wanted to play). I'm not saying she can't come back, she just doesn't get a guarantee.
      I admit I'm an old luddite whose views are orthogonal to today's realities. I just can't separate the educational mission of colleges from their now-professional sports teams. My wish that some things continue to mean what they used to is just that -- wishful thinking.

Canady would be in a position to pay full freight. I’m sure if she made good use of her time since transferring, Stanford would welcome her money.
