Apparently not! What is laughable (insulting really) is that you can determine this from watching her play less than a minute per game for UCONN. Even within DI there are multiple level of play where Autumn can certainly make a contribution. @stamfordhusky I firmly disagree that Autumn could not play at Patriot League school Eg., Loyola of Maryland
The Ivies, to their credit, really don't do the "wink and nod" thing. Regardless of athletic talent financial aide at these institutions is strictly based on need and administered and verified by a third party.
Ivy League coaches have absolutely no say on financial aid for prospective student-athletes. All financial aid applications for both athletes and non-athletes are routed through an independent clearinghouse in Princeton, NJ that establishes a “need based” package of financial aid that typically includes 4 components: academic scholarship, student-loan, work-study and family contribution.
You have been misinformed.

Because I think she wouldn't get a lot more playing time at Princeton than she got at Uconn.Why not Princeton? The coach there might be amenable to the idea
I grew up next to Lehigh. A real good start for someone like her.
You have been misinformed.
"The 5-foot-8 point guard had scholarship offers and interest from other schools, including two from the Ivy League."
‘All she needed was the opportunity:’ Autumn Chassion’s journey to UConn started with a cold-call to Storrs to attend a practice and ended with her earning a walk-on spot
Several years ago, Tehmi Chassion of Lafayette, La., cold-called the UConn women’s basketball program after hearing that it allowed coaches to attend practices. After religiously watching Gen…
Let’s see, Princeton education and less playing time or obscure mid-major no one has heard of and many minutes. Hmmmm, which would be best when applying for med school….?
Boy, you’re really determined to let us know what an inferior player she is. Check out @cferraro04 post above. Can’t you just wish the kid good luck and let it go?
Arguably because Princeton, doesn't give athletic scholarships as a member of the Ivy League. Of course they do give need based scholarships to athletes so...Why not Princeton? The coach there might be amenable to the idea
An African American woman who is an exceptionally accomplished academician who is also an elite athlete. Princeton for the win.
Maybe your response was intended for a different Stamford post, but the one you responded to was a fact-based correction of some misinformation. I think that’s entirely appropriate.
I lived on campus at Lehigh for 2 years. You may know that Muffett coached there. So did Pete Carril, who was born in Bethlehem.
Well . . . that puts him in some special company.
There was no fact based correction or misinformation. The article posted indicated Autumn had offers from 2 different Ivy league schools. @stamfordhusky post indicated that Autumn had no division 1 offers. Unless you believe Ivy league schools are not Division 1 institutions or the Ivy offers were for Autumn to play the violin?
1) This has come up several times and Stamford has already researched it point by point in previous threads.
I think the point of most in the thread is that this board's fans have rose-colored glasses when viewing UConn players, even walk-ons. The transfer portal is like musical chairs this year, and there are far more accomplished players without a chair as the music is ending.
