Agree. Last year several great college rookie players were reduced to

mediocrity in this league. NC may be looking at her value from strictly a PR perspective, name recognition. But, no guarantee she will dominate AUSL like she did college. But, we see this in other sports, where players are compensated more in college than they are in the pros. So, it may be she is not that passionate about playing.

She can wait until the new 5 year thing passes and sue to play a 5th year.

Any idea how much Karen is paying her new hitting coach?**
MidloHokie • 06/13/26 11:33 AM ET
0.40 ERA? Wow.**
Hockeydad • 06/11/26 08:00 PM ET
Helluva pay cut**

Hope she didn't get too used to her TT financial situation! 🤑**

Yeah, welcome to the real world……**
RJHokie • 06/11/26 07:46 PM ET
Should she wait for that vote to see if she can get a 5th season?**
laphroaig • 06/11/26 04:40 PM ET
Maybe, but the NCAA has been fairly clear that the fifth season won't apply
VTChip • 06/11/26 04:43 PM ET
You mean the National Cluster Athletic Association?**
laphroaig • 06/11/26 04:45 PM ET
Wasn't overly impressed with her performance in the post-season **
TomTurkey • 06/11/26 04:14 PM ET
Good point. I had to check. In 12 games, she pitched 44.1
