Were our ladies provided with/offered and extra year due to Covid?  If yes, do we know if any are coming back for their extra year?  Based on the "Senior Day" activities, it appears all are moving on including two juniors.

It seems from experience....that most gals in softball.....once they get that degree they move on. Plus....I asked a parent....how many schollies does softball get? Was told it's 16 spread out amongst all the players. So not everyone gets a full ride. That's probably one reason....many move on. Because the extra year of "school" isn't free.

Extra Covid year is over, none of the girls have any more eligibility. Softball only has 12 scholarships that are spread out, not 16

Thank you.......for the correction. 

 

And let me add....that as someone who hates the NIL.....I would much rather give to a fund so that all our softball gals, had all of their schooling paid for......instead of giving it to players in football and basketball......who are already getting a full ride.

Right there with you regarding the NIL.

      Here’s a couple more anecdotes for you to spin: I coached a kid that played basketball at Wichita St. Average work ethic, tons of talent. I also coached a kid that played football at UT. Average to above average work ethic, elite talent. I doubt most D1 players don’t work any harder than their high school teammates, they just have more talent. I would even say that many less talented players have to work harder just to be able to get on the field. I know there are a few high school coaches on the board. I’d love to hear their experience.

      Also looking like by moving the collectives back into the athletic department they can regain the tac benefit: “There is, however, another incentive to drive donors to give to schools now that the universities can pay players directly: Their donations are subject to tax deductions, unlike those to a collective.” link: https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-settlement-qa-how-will-schools-distribute-revenue-what-is-the-future-of-nil-collectives-and-more-125519681.html

      House v. NCAA settlement winners and losers: Athletes take monumental step, non-revenue sports at risk

      Winner: Boosters and fan pocketbooks Athletic departments are still going to need boosters to make big-money contributions, arguably now more than ever as their budgets are squeezed amid a decrease in NCAA distributions and the advent of revenue-sharing. But the boosters and casual fans won't be so directly needed to fund talent acquisition. The term "booster fatigue" has become common in the college sports lexicon. Now, the primary onus for paying the players will be on the athletic departments. That takes financial pressure off supporters, who are already shelling out for seat licenses, season tickets, travel, merchandise, parking, concessions, cable packages and all the other expenses that come with being a college sports fan. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/house-v-ncaa-settlement-winners-and-losers-athletes-take-monumental-step-non-revenue-sports-at-risk/amp/

      I gave you a personal example of it being true.
