How did Texas have a 2014 scholarship available this late? Who's money was it to give up? One of the DS/Libero's?

Personally I don't think it makes someone a "weaker" person, but to compare it to the Flu is unfair, especially if the depression isn't related to something hormonal. Infectious diseases are NOT the same as socially induced illnesses (which depression largely is). Unfair to who?? Those with the flu? SO SORRY if I offended someone who has the flu for suggesting that depression is also an illness! Obviously I didn't say that depression is contagious? Other than that, they are both illnesses and both are not preventable. If you honestly are trying to say that it's unfair to compare the two because one is preventable and one is not, then you are the exact reason why there's such a negative stigma surrounding depression. What's next? You're going to tell me that since I'm gay, I don't qualify for protection from discrimination because it's not really the same as being black? It's unfair to make that comparison? That I shouldn't qualify as part of a group that deserves protection because it's seen by some as a conditional state, not hereditary? You're gross. You are just looking for a fight. It's clear to me that you didn't read or understand my entire post. I said, " Personally I don't think it makes someone a "weaker" person, but to compare it to the Flu is unfair, especially if the depression isn't related to something hormonal. Infectious diseases are NOT the same as socially induced illnesses (which depression largely is). It doesn't change the outcome, however. If Paulina was genuinely depressed at Penn State she should take the steps to remedy her depression, and shouldn't be judged for it. Life is too personal, especially considering how young she is, for people to box her into a lifestyle that doesn't make her happy." How, in any of that, do you deduce that I wouldn't see depression, (or discrimination against gays) as every bit as equal to needing treatment? Saying something isn't the same (and flu as an infection diseases is NOT the same as a mentally induced illness) is NOT saying that both aren't equally deserving of treatment. Like I said, you are just picking a fight. And since you are gay, there is a good chance you'll understand the meaning of the next phrase.... BYE FELICIA, GIRL BYE!

Another poster says it wasn't Hattis...so who else plays another sport? Yeah, that didn't make sense to me because I thought that multi-sport NCAA athletes were given scholarships based on the sport that has greater hierarchy (i.e. basketball is ranked above volleyball). That would mean, whoever the multi-sport athlete is, has to play basketball. But I don't think that's the case for the 2014 season. There are 15 players on the roster and 12 get a scholarship. The only players that I'm assuming are not on scholarship for the 2014-2015 season are: Kat Brooks, Cat McCoy, and Kate Palladino. And all three players pay in-state tuition (Brooks' family moved to Austin)...another reason why I think they are not on scholarship. I'm not sure how the scholarships will work out in 2015 since only two will open up with Eckerman and Bell graduating, but they will need three for Bedhart-Ghani, White, and Johnson. My thinking is that Hattis will decide to play basketball her senior year which will open up 3 scholarships for the incoming freshmen. That still keeps Brooks, McCoy, and Palladino from receiving a scholarship but that seems like that is the trend for L/DS players. And of course, there is always the possibility of someone transferring or deciding not to use the rest of her eligibility...

From what I know, there was one basketball scholarship available for the upcoming season. That's the only sport higher in the hierarchy that would allow a player to play both basketball and volleyball in the same season. That's how it worked for Hattis.

If a player chose to walk on for volleyball, would they be allowed to take a smaller scholarship for say track, or another sport?

If a player chose to walk on for volleyball, would they be allowed to take a smaller scholarship for say track, or another sport? No, it doesn't work like that. Volleyball is considered a "Head-count" sport, in which the NCAA limits the total number of individuals (12) that can receive a full athletic scholarship. Participants in women's volleyball are counted in that sport unless they are a "walk-on." A player cannot receive a scholarship in another sport and play volleyball unless she also plays basketball.

According to another post though this player would become a walk-on.
