Sedona Prince

[Plebe]

This decision is beyond baffling, She should have had one of the strongest cases I’ve seen. To get hurt while playing for your country should also have carried weight. Sedona is missing two years with one due to problems stemming from her recovery and the care and support she was receiving. I hate the NCAA for their lack of consistency and their arbitrary cloakroom decisions!

This math is a bit off. Sedona broke both her tibia and fibula in early August 2018, and it was immediately known that she would need surgery and that she'd miss the 2018-19 season:

Since Oregon applied for a waiver to allow her to play in 2019-20, it's not accurate to say that the alleged problems with her recovery and care caused her to miss a second year.

Saw this post on a different board regarding news of Sedona's denied appeal:

I like that student-athletes can leave a program that's not a fit just as coaches can choose not to renew a scholarship or recruit a player -- but I HATE that the transfer portal life turns mostly decent folks into liars so they can get their way.

Kind of like running for office and then going to D.C.? Once decent folks turned to liars.

In the Pac, schollies are for four years, minimum. Coaches can't pull scholarships. That's a trend started at a couple schools (incl. my OSU), was adopted by the Pac a while ago, and is spreading around the country.

That rule/practice has been in place for 4 years now in the P5 plus some other schools and is often misunderstood and overstated. All the rule says is that universities CANNOT cancel or choose to not renew a scholarship for "poor athletic performance". A coach can cancel a scholarship for any other reason such as wearing a nose piercing (allegedly) or being late for a practice or class.

NCAA Compliance Expert Rick Allen provides important facts about the new NCAA Division I rule which has the effect of “protecting” Division I student-athletes from having their athletic scholarship cancelled or not renewed for any athletic performance reason.
