Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2674572, member: 1220"] Now a poster, on another thread, stated that Shepard sat out the previous season due to injury and if she sat out another that would be two seasons in a row not playing. Now that might constitute a personal reason for accepting her request. I certainly could understand that. But it still creates issues. First of all Nebraska would have given her an entire year of free education ( unless she wasn't going to school) with out the benefit of her playing for their team. They would do this under the understanding that she would return the next season. I do not know why else they would. If she wanted to transfer then it should have been done at that time. That year should have been at the expense of the school she was transferring too. That has often happened in cases like this. For example Alexis Jones, who used her rehab year as the one she sat out and that year was picked up by the school she was transferring too. [B]To do it the way it was done by Shepard is a bit disingenuous in that she got a free year of education out to Nebraska and will have that year of eligibility left to use at ND in a graduate program if she desires.[/B] Very unethical if you ask me. She needs to pay back Nebraska for that year of tuition. The NCAA is setting a horrible precedent in this case. [/QUOTE]
