While I am an Oregon fan and normally do NOT cheer for USC (especially in football), I do like strong competition. I hope Baylee gets her academics in order and is able to play in the fall.

Baylee is still at USC, and isn't leaving. She is working on her NCAA stuff and hopes to be eligible to play again this season. It's okay to dislike the Trojan family, and I understand how other schools are so jealous of them. Regardless of your hate, at least try to be factual when you post. I can't speak for others in this forum but I certainly am not jealous of USC -- or any other school.

Hard to be "factual" when initially the only fact was that she was off the roster. Expecting that speculation and wild guesses wouldn't arise, and labeling it as jealousy when it does, is at best naive. A good deal of it is motivated not by dislike of USC, but of Mick.

USC academics are intense. It is a top 25 school after all. Top 2 or 3 academically in the Pac. Hope she gets her stuff together and is able to play.

Death is imminent. Seriously, don't you have to pay a usage fee? Also, I suspect (but don't know) that you have to take some sort of racetrack safety course (for liability purposes) and these all cost $$$. I don't think they just open the gates for you and you just race to your heart's content. Well of course you have to pay to drive on a track. But except for novices, the entrance fees are the least of it. You will go through more money in tires and brakes than you pay in entrance fees. Spending money on instruction is a good investment. You'll have more fun and get better a lot faster if you have an instructor.

I'm not jealous of USC or any school. I was, however, very jealous of Charles McHugh in high school because he dated the girl of my dreams (at the time). I never got over it. I don't know what she saw in him. He ultimately went to NC State University.

That's good news sunger. It would be risky to enter the season with one setter. I doubt Strange would be interested unless she has plans for attending grad school. She would have to applied and been accepted by now for grad school to start in the fall. Has Strange shown any interest in the indoor game since her first year at Nebraska.

Just saying USC has gotten pretty lucky with the timing of their recruits. In 2010 they already had Jupiter then got No. 1 recruit Fonoimoana along with the No. 1 recruiting class including Shaw, Olgard, and Hagglund. Then in 2011 Fonoimoana leaves and Jupiter, Bateman, and Williams lead the team to a Final Four. At that point it looked like a possible down season in 2012 but a late international pick-up of Bricio kept them in contention. For the 2013 season they get Nwanebu and Ruddins which along with Bricio and Hagglund led to an incredible regional final match with Washington. The 2014 season was a disappointment but they managed to get to the NCAA Tournament with Bricio, Nwanebu (injured), and rising Whittingham. Lastly the 2015 season which includes one of their best seasons in recent years managing to change their offense and blocking and reaching No. 1 for several weeks. Now they have No. 1 recruit Lanier coming to replace Bricio and Davis and LeGrand to help fill in the depth charts. Senior seasons for Ruddins, Whittingham, and Pizzasegola so hopefully they can get back to where they were last season. ...I'd say that Mick's overall development has been kind of a disappointment. Falyn...was a waste of time. Players like Bateman, Shaw, and Olgard are solid for Pac-12 roll players, but they aren't what I would consider elite level players. Ruddins ended up being completely overrated. Thankfully they realized early that Gillis wasn't going to give them anything and let her go. ...many of USC's top billed recruits haven't really panned out like they should have, IMO. This past year looked great for USC, but how much of that was just from very low expectations because Mick and co. had one of their worst seasons in program history (despite having tons of talent) and the fact that Pac-12 was hit hard with graduation and injuries. OK, we can mark you down as a USC hater.

Maybe Baylee was required to remove USC WVB labels from her social media accounts while awaiting reinstatement. Maybe not. But I'm hoping that she decided to remove those labels as personal motivation (to make up credits in summer, for example) until she officially is back on the team.
I wonder if academics is the huge assumption, because there are other ways to become "NCAA ineligible" and status for fall "undetermined."

OK, we can mark you down as a USC hater. A USC hater?....I don't think any UW fans have a reason to "hate" USC. What's UW's record against USC over the last 10 years despite USC's "superior" recruiting? UW has finished in the top 2 of the Pac-12 in 7 of the last 10 years, USC has done that twice. USC has had how many players transfer out or be academically ineligible? Your coach goes on noticeable tirades against anyone within shouting distance, including his players....IMO hate usually involves subtexts of jealousy... there isn't much to be jealous of USC if you are sitting in Seattle.
