She’s forfeiting her scholarship which was paying for the degree. This means her final year will be out of her pocket. She will probably need to work another job because the pay is so low. The degree could have helped with that. Leaving college early for a big contract makes sense. Leaving for 31,000 a year doesn’t (too me).

“The NWSL says that 4% of its players have a total compensation of less than $30,000, which is down from 73% in 2019. However, Burke and the NWSLPA estimate that number to be much higher, explaining that team salary caps are $682,500, which is to be divided by the average number of 24 players on a team. By NWSLPA estimates, a third of their player association members make the league's minimum salary and about 75% make $31,000 or less.”

She is choosing to live her dream. You can’t put a price in that. It is unfortunate that NWSL salaries are so low but she is only young enough once to play a sport professionally. If she truly loves soccer then this is a no brainer. She can be head hunter or real estate agent any time and be a dime a dozen later.

She can try to go to Europe. They are actually paying women soccer players but she will be a few years behind. She has been screwing around at amateur part time soccer for a few year while the others were in a professional environment in Europe.

She’s a soccer stud. No question about it. But she’s from Texas. None of us know her. Playing three years at UVA doesn’t make her a Hometown hero.

She has the pedigree to do well in the NWSL providing she stays healthy and doesn’t get frustrated at that level.

Leaving behind college to make money is fine as long as you got the degree. So hopefully she did

No she has to play against that level and see if she can be productive. Lots of college stars do not bust a grape in the pros.

Well looks like she was scoreless in her last NCAA game…not too good for the ACC player of the year.

You clearly never played sports.

Clearly you are clueless to the difference between college soccer and the professional game. College soccer is so much less competitive vs the professional game.. Does not look good for the her pro career.

Since she failed to score in a college game, it looks bad for her pro career? What?

Oh yes. You see it all the time in other sports. Look at the NCAA basketball tournament and college football. Makes or breaks draft positions if a player disappears in the big games or against other quality players. In college you may play against a top player once or twice a year. You have to be productive in those games and the big games when the pressure is the highest. That is what shows the player has what it takes to play at a higher level where all the players were stars in college.

It’s like the travel soccer forward who scores a lot of goals against the bottom tables teams but disappears when playing the top teams. Makes you look harder at that player. Is it a lack of speed, athleticism, problems against big players, technical skills, etc. Did the player get beat physically, make mental mistakes or was it the surrounding teammates?

This isn’t how basketball works. Please tell me the major college recruits who plummeted in the draft because of their final college game. A lot of top picks go nowhere near the semis or finals of the tournament.

Trevor Lawrence still went #1 after losing multiple national championship games.

I'm curious why the questions, hate or attitude toward a young lady that played at the top of the collegiate game making the jump to go to the next level? Why do you care? Its her business, her future and she is doing damn well up to this point without any input from all of you that want to question her choices.
