Lots of plusses

1) She makes headlines - notoriety won't hurt her (or ND if she returns)
2) She learns a new and faster game from a different perspective - but it's still basketball
3) She learns from a different coach and a different system
4) Talk about learning to manage egos .....
5) If she returns, I can't see how this would hurt her in recruiting - I would think it would help
6) It's a challenge - a woman in a man's game - exactly the thing for which Muffet was an advocate - has to make her stronger

Now I don't want her to go - I actually hoped she would just transition into HC when Muffett called it quits (sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't - UT)
