This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Hope you are right about ND, but I know Paul Ratcliffe of by Domerduck
Stanford handled Catarina and Sophia leaving early with class and dignity as I know that 3 time NC coach personally and he does everything that way from his days back at St.Mary's where my daughter went. Still the 3 year falloff for Stanford has been significant though maybe this year was affected more by the GK suicide and less on the recruiting/talent front. Hope Nate can do better with Korbin leaving.
You may be right that leaving early is a more lucrative choice for some of these players. Clearly she as a mid her impact on a team (like Lindsey Horan) can be tremendous and she is still developing. Probably the pro teams can take her development farther and faster than ND, but certainly an opportunity lost for our team. Even one more year would have been nice.
