Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3614349, member: 591"] I was referencing the difference in scholarship if WBB ends up being handled similarly. These are normal transfer rules - the players opted to transfer because they saw their playing time going away. In softball, there is usually no sit-out, although there can be if the school objects. As someone else mentioned, where do the minutes (innings in Softball) come from when you have all conference and even all Americans coming back that you thought were leaving. I think Arizona has 6 coming back and at least 5 or 6 underclass-women transferred - some because they figured they wouldn't get to play at all and others because they expected to be moving into a major role and its not happening. I'm not 100% sure on the NCAA's changes - I know they are offering financial assistance aid for the players receiving extra eligibility and they are allowing some changes in scholarships, but in these sports they are not "head count" and the roster is not limited as it is in basketball (i.e. players get partial scholarships, it is the money that is capped). Arizona has a rich sports history, with baseball and women's golf both having multiple Natty's. Softball has 8, most in the '90's last in 2007 (I think), followed by a bunch of years not making the World Series. We were always good, just not great, for the run of years where we missed out, but we are "back". Our coach, Mike Candrea, is contending with the Michigan coach for most career wins. Yes, we are Nick Fowles fans as well. For Giants fans that "hate" the Eagles, we were rooting them on in their Super Bowl run. [/QUOTE]
