This has always been a complicated case. TX had nothing to do with the initial injury, so technically, Prince’s treatment & care should have been covered either by USA Basketball or family insurance. Once Prince got to TX, the University clearly picked up responsibility for rehabilitation and ongoing medical care. It has been noted that Prince and her mother sought medical care in NYC outside of the U of TX system.
The question of how and why the second surgery was necessary adds to the confusion. In addition, there was some sort of infection from the second surgery that set her back once she got to Oregon. Here again, who exactly was responsible for Prince’s care and treatment resulting from the infection?
Whatever the facts involved, it was clear that Prince and her family were not happy with TX when she transferred. It’s also clear that Prince/Oregon cited medical “mistreatment” at TX as the primary justification for Prince’s immediate eligibility. Whatever the facts, the NCAA denied the original waiver request as well as the appeal.
Prince has done an interview or two on her situation and now this social media post, all of which seem to point a finger at TX. While she has every right to voice her opinions, I’m not sure what she hopes to accomplish other than venting her frustration. Kelly Graves and his team are trying to win a national championship. The Prince situation is an ongoing distraction.
