Not that surprising

Jewell had a hard time at ND fitting in and she certainly blindsided her coach when she left. But read my post below about Alike commenting on missing class for two weeks. Without going onto detail there have beens several women players the last decade who haves had academic troubles and the university has been able to gloss over the problems and only really lose one for any length of time. Its also true, as I've said here for years, that the basketball women do not integrate with their fellow students as well as other sports teams. That's part of the reason so few of their fellow students attend their games. And the discussion of blacks at ND is a topic unto itself. Fried chicken in front of dorm room doors just happened a few short years ago. So, while I certainly don't condone how Jewell handled her ND experience, her remarks are not that surprising.
