OT a little bit here, but it is absolutely amazing to me the transformation of the NCAA policies. There was a story from years back, about a University of Colorado student athlete who had his scholarship revoked and was no longer allowed to play for the football team (kicker maybe), because he was deemed to be a professional skier! Giant slalom maybe, possibly the Downhill, I don't know for certain, and it doesn't real matter for the point here. It was not the same sport, yet he was still a professional athlete, and as such was not eligible to participate in any NCAA Sport because he had lost his amateur status.
In contrast, next August when she starts school at UConn, Blanca will be 19-yrs old, and will have played five years in a professional basketball league? I'm all in favor of UConn getting the best players available, but oh my, have things sure changed! Lebron James didn't play in college at all; does he still have four years of eligibility once he decides to retire from the NBA?
