She could gotten a summer sublet super cheap. I would bet there is more to this story, I was never a fan of this egotistical coach. Well, you should be happy he is gone. Last we heard he was headed to Davenport on I-80.

*Guess* on my part... she transferred in the summer session, and thought she’d be on scholarship right way, when her IA scholarship didn’t start until the fall semester. Right, I guessed the same back when this same link was posed earlier in the thread. And then you wonder, surely the coach would’ve known and been able to tell her that she wouldn’t be allowed to go on scholarship until fall semester. So either he mislead her, she didn’t listen to him, or there was a wink, wink arrangement alluded to, in my opinion. Or he assumed, and she assumed, and then reality bit. Shouldn’t happen, but I’m not ready to form a judgment regarding the “how” of this coming to pass. Doesn’t really matter, either... Bond knew the rules. Heck, I know that rule.

She never sent one email or text or made a social media post to the effect of “Can’t wait to be in Iowa City in June!” ?? And coach said to himself “Ha! That’s funny. Well she obviously knows she has to pay her own way this summer. I guess that’s that.” ? I don’t believe it.

"She came to Iowa City expecting to be on full scholarship, but when that status changed, she had nowhere else to turn." Why did she expect to be on full scholarship? Why did that status change? “In an act of compassion, I advanced funds to cover a young woman's unanticipated summer expenses in 2017. She came to Iowa City expecting to be on full scholarship, but when that status changed, she had nowhere else to turn.”
What Shymansky is reported to have done was certainly unwise, unfortunate, unsupportable. Interpreting the fuller quote above, maybe the need for the former student-athlete to be in Iowa City in the summer of 2017 was unanticipated (say, required summer school due to unexpected issues at previous school in the spring?), leading to unanticipated summer expenses. Perhaps initially the plan was to move to Iowa City and start school in August with scholarship then, a scholarship that was in fact in place in August. IDK. Trying to make some sense of it but seems senseless. So sad, and so much waste all the way around.
Only remains to say: On Iowa.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! You have hit upon the likely answer. If the student had to do summer school in order to be admitted the school she is transferring to, the scholarship would not start until the fall. That would explain the situation.

But it doesn’t explain away the main part of it that is curious: why was it unexpected? Do we really believe that Iowa admissions and/or athletic depts said “well, you’re accepted into the school, but we’re not going to spend any effort whatsoever until the last second possible to determine if you need to take summer school at Iowa to be eligible in the fall. But I wouldn’t worry about it! We’ll get back to you in late May.” Come on ...

How much is average rent for a bedroom for 3 months in Iowa actually cost? In Iowa City a ballpark estimate is $400-$700 per month according to trulia, so if we take somewhere in the middle of the range for 3 months the cost would be $1650.

A friend's daughter just signed a lease for 2019-2020 there. Apartment with two bedroom, living area, in-apartment washer/dryer. $950/month. So with a rooomate, you can get a nice place for $475/month.

In my final three years of college, I lived rent free in a mansion in San Marino, CA. There was a catch: I had to maintain the owner's house and property, from minor repairs I did on my own (e.g., plumbing, carpentry, yard) to hiring and working with contractors for various renovations. I was essentially the on-site handyman and amateur general contractor. The owner himself, who had a variety of social anxiety disorders, just didn't want to bother with that stuff. He mostly stayed in his study all day to play in the stock market. He just wrote a check or handed me a wad of cash to cover all expenses. It was a pretty sweet arrangement. It didn't take that much time away from my studies (it was actually a good respite) and I learned a lot.

It didn't take that much time away from my studies (it was actually a good respite) and I learned a lot. I knew a guy in gradual school who lived on Paces Ferry in Atlanta. For those who don't know the area, it is where the old money elites lived in old estates. The governor's mansion is on Paces Ferry, but that house is considered to be gauche and not opulent enough. This guy lived upstairs in the carriage house, it had three or four apartments that used to house the carriage driver and the various servants from the main house. It was sweet, very well built house and very spacious. The only problems were the old electrical system that couldn't adequately supply the electrical power habits of the modern day grad students: desk top, TV, stereo, microwave, refrigerator, window AC unit (believe me , you needed it if you lived in Atlanta and on the second floor). This guy offered to rewire the whole carriage house iwth some of his buddies to save the owners a bundle of money, but the owner saw visions of a fiery inferno on his property and brought in contractors to do both the main house and the carriage house. The plumbing though was always a problem.
