Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4900542, member: 15"] Saying ND (Niele) was "a bit coy" is an understatement. "Day-to-day," and "still being evaluated" was all the committee was getting from Niele. I'm still not sure anyone from ND or Olivia Miles herself has said the words "Olivia [I] [I]tore her [my] ACL" or "Olivia [I] [I]had surgery to repair a torn ACL." As for Stanford and Nygaard, this is from a post I made on the same subject last year: "Some will recall the situation in 1998 with Stanford and Vanessa Nygaard's knee injury in the PAC-10 conference final against Oregon State. While Nygaard's knee was undergoing testing (MRI), the committee tried to get in touch with Tara. [I]Jean Lenti Ponsetto, NCAA selection committee chair from DePaul: "By Saturday afternoon, when Nygaard was injured, the bracket was probably almost done. I know we tried to get ahold of Tara after we had heard that there was an injury at Stanford. The rule is that the committee is notified as soon as an injury happens, but that wasn't probably easy at that point because we were holed up. I remember the NCAA staff had tried to reach Tara, and she was out walking her dog. We had two brackets, one with them as a No. 1 seed and another with them as a No. 2. But the bottom line is, the committee went with the info we had. And we left them at a No. 1. I remember asking Tara later, 'Were you really out walking your dog while we were trying to reach you?' She said, 'I guess.'"[/I] Stanford then lost to #16 seed Harvard." Karma maybe.[/I][/I][/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
