She got her money. Good for her. But if I’m Stanford, she isn’t coming back. Period.
It’s bad enough they are going to lose all their best athletes to other schools. But to then take them back? Suckers.
It’s a bit different if they go pro. And I get there isn’t that opportunity in softball. But that isn’t Stanford’s fault.
If they want to take the “highroad“ so be it. But they might as well then just go to club sports. Because they aren’t gonna be able to compete.
The other option is to get serious about NIL. But that’s not gonna happen.
