The notion that immediate happiness is the be-all and end-all of experience is horribly misguided. It leads to an unwillingness to perservere in the face of short-term adversity. I hope that the current notion that whatever doesn't bring immediate joy must be instantly rejected is fad that we will all outgrow. No no no, it’s not an “experience” it’s WORK. Why would you get up at 5AM everyday, put your body through the ringer for 2+ hours straight at least once that day, not to mention pay attention in the classroom, study, and still try and live a life if one major part of that equation is draining on you. If an athlete knows (or coach lets them know) that their experience might not be what they want it to be then please for the love of volleyGod, tell me why an athlete is obligated to stay? Again not every athlete who could have had more success somewhere else wants to leave(Orie A. @ Texas) so why demonize an athlete for thinking for themselves? Sorry I get that you don’t like when an athlete leaves your favorite program, but it’s not about you or your “feelings” about the matter. This is 100% correct and anyone complaining about these kids looking for a better experience for THEIR COLLEGE YEARS really ought to get their head out of their ass and go find some professional athletes to harass instead.

Sorry I get that you don’t like when an athlete leaves your favorite program, but it’s not about you or your “feelings” about the matter. It’s not work for the vast majority of athletes. D1 volleyball is full of athletes from upper middle class families who don’t need the scholarship money. Not to mention the walk ons that are on every single team in the country. There must be some reason that thousands of women want to play college volleyball. There might be a very small percentage who find it to be ‘work’ and would quit if it weren’t for the scholarship, but that’s the minority.

Im talking about two-A-day practices starting at 5AM and you’re here talking about scholarship money and middle class families. What? Are you not aware of what a D1 athlete’s schedule is like?

So what is wrong with them seeking a better situation for themselves? Nothing. Very few are talented enough to play at the college level, and those that are only have 4-5 years to play. Thus they would be very unfair to themselves that they would not seek a better situation, if things were not working out for them at there current school. Most of us don't retire working at the same place we started working. If we see better opportunities we go after them. Why should college athletes be criticized for doing the same thing? And they only have a 4-5 year college career to make changes and seek better opportunity that will likely impact them for the remainder of their lives. In addition many make their decision by 16 or before. Not many of us made 4 year commitments at that age. Many of us thought we knew what we wanted at 16 and within a year or 2 that changed.

Have you ever recruited someone with a “promise” or even just suggestive of what you expect that player will achieve and then fall through on your recruitment for whatever reason? Should that kid be expected to stay?

McCall? Didnt think she was with TCU long this year, any updates on her? I didn't believe it, but I don't see McCall on TCU's online roster. That's a huge loss for TCU. EDIT: She played in their first match in the NIVC, but didn't play in their last three. Her individual roster page returns a 404 error. She's gone. You can access McCall's bio if you go to the 2018 roster. gofrogs.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/-eacute-lan-mccall/4688

It’s so annoying when people say this. It’s not about either, it’s about THE ATHLETE and where they are going to be happiest. That is all. Based highly on sports. If there were no sports you really think all these athletes would be transferring all over the place? Give me a break If it wasn't for sports, how many of these athletes would be attending the school they are currently at?

Alabama has already created a 2020 roster online:
I guess with all the transfers/drop-outs that happened recently, having a roster of only 7 players was going to look ugly from a PR perspective. I know it's like pulling teeth to get some SIDs to update their rosters for the upcoming season!

Give me a break The transfer rate for athletes is lower than the transfer rate for non-athletes, overall. So, yes.

You should not being getting into schools on sports merit. It should be on academic merit in first place

You should not being getting into schools on sports merit. It should be on academic merit in first place i was more so referring to the cost of out of state tuition. Not everyone can afford to go out of state, so maybe by being smart enough to attend the school, they are given an athletic scholarship that allows them to go to school there.
