Endured?
Exactly. It's not worth it for just 2-3 years. Each state administers their own plan. The state takes a management fee and their mutual fund provider (you don't get a choice - you must use that provider, with a small selection of funds) takes fund management fees which vary depending on the mix of funds you choose. And, if you set it up through a financial planner instead of directly with the state, then they take a cut too. Really need to shop and decide if it's worth it. In many cases it's no better than just paying the taxes, except you pay fees to money managers instead.
Part of declaring for the WNBA draft is a player “must” renounce all remaining NCAA eligibility. If there is no WNBA draft Megan can still return to school. If she chooses to sign and play professionally overseas this also removes any remaining NCAA eligibility.
I knew that they were BFFs at UConn but didn't know that they were close friends before arriving in Storrs.
Don't be concerned. There is a talented big coming to UConn next season.
Diana left without her degree as did many others. They finished up online after they left school. And we have no idea if Meg needs 8 more classes or 1.
No; she was/is a junior like Megan.
Sorry thought she missed a year with injury before her sisters injuries
Senior night is for seniors, so I doubt Uconn would allow a junior to participate in a 'senior night' festivity even if the announced they were not going to return. The exception might be if they were on schedule to graduate in three years - something that is unlikely for athletes due to their heavy time commitment to their sport. The players like Morgan and Azura that have left prior to using their 4 yr. eligibility were academic seniors and in at least Morgan's case were offered the chance to participate, with the specific proviso that they would not be invited to participate a second time should they stay.
I think maybe she is the kinda person that lets her seniors lead until she has no choice. Like I’ve said before, this was her training year. We could have used her to lead more, but I believe she did a lot of that by example. The games we lost, we just weren’t the better team. Doesn’t matter now but I truly believe next year, she would have been dominant as only juniors who already are, can leave for the draft early and get drafted early.
Fair point....uconn players are often sought after because they are winners..but it doesnt guarantees significant playing time..
Agree to disagree.
Yes. They played together on several HS/USA basketball teams, as well as the national championship 3x3 team.
if they sign her I believe she will get paid even if the season gets canceled. I am not sure about WNBA but in other sports you must remove yourself from draft within a certain timeframe to be eligible to return to college. Coming back after leaving is probably not possible if she sign a contract even if the season is cancelled.
I asked the same question earlier in this thread or in another thread and the reply I got was that when a player declares for the WNBA, they forfeit their remaining eligibility. BUT, I have no idea how Sabally was able to declare before the PAC-12 Tournament and still compete unless it's another quirky NCAA rule that the declaration is only effective once the team's season is completed.
Thank you. I think that is great about Geno. There is another aspect to this as well though. D was in school for 4 years and had no eligibility left and she was D. No one would have expected her and the others you referred to to just stay in school and not play pro ball if they could. Correct me if am wrong, but the only ones besides Walker who did have eligibility left and who went pro and who were noteworthy were Stevens and Tuck and they both, I believe, had already attended college for four years. That is not the case here with Meg. She had both a year of eligibility and a 4th, not 5th, year in school left if she wanted them. She is the first one to give up both and many of us including Mike Anthony of The Courant think it was a mistake for a variety of different reasons including but not limited to the academic one.
