..after her sophomore year. Believe she was drafted by NWSL's Kansas City franchise, who put together not just a decent salary but other marketing deals.

Wouldn't be surprised if Korbin and family/advisors took that into account.

Three other things:

- This is really good development for Korbin. Playing for PSG is superb. Alanna Cook who played locally for a club team in NJ, went to Stanford and then onto PSG. She's now back in the NWSL and plays for the National Team.

- Think this will be happening more, not less. Look at the schools we're mentioning: Stanford, Duke, ND. If these players are leaving these types of places, they're getting paid enough to succeed.

- Yes, this will suck for ND in the short-term, but if Nate handled this with the class and dignity I'm sure he did, similar players might want to come to ND form prestigious clubs.

Dang, I was really looking forward to a run with Korbin and Eva at the helm.

Good luck, Korbin...
