Because the team isn't saying anything, it's reasonable to conclude that Lepolo hasn't consented to release the information. Unless the player decides to disclose, FERPA prohibits Stanford from releasing information known to the school relating to her medical condition. 20 USC 1232(g). I know as a fan, I'd love to know what's going on. But, the information about Lepolo's injury is hers alone; as a parent, I have to respect Stanford for, you know, following the law and protecting her privacy.
It is true that in the olden days, injury information leaked like a sieve. I'm glad to see that leaking isn't the dominant paradigm, particularly at Stanford. I hope that whatever the injury is, it's neither career ending nor something that has lifelong implications for her. I say this while staring at my own total knee replacement scar and thinking about how my college athlete experience contributed to it.
