Sure she could have gone back on her verbal commitment. Some people do and some people don’t. I had a friend whose dream it was to go to Michigan her whole life, she got in and after two years she transferred to another college. Sometimes the school you want to go to as a teenager isn’t the best...
Plenty of students go to college and realize it’s not the best choice for them or that school is the right for them. Doesn’t help when you make that decision at 14 and a bunch of life changing things happen in between the decision and going off to school.

My biggest concern is that an athlete who might be in an abusive situation and...
I’m not asking anyone on this forum to justify anything. People are bringing up legitimate questions about Alicia and they are being accused of canceling her. I don’t remember anyone saying she shouldn’t commentate during the NCAA season or shouldn’t be involved in the sport. I don’t think its...
