Per Mark Berman of the Roanoke Times. This is totally wrong on so many levels. I sat in the courtroom on Monday for two hours and the testimony from Bre simply broke my heart. Bre was a Top 10 recruit when she signed with Texas A&M, where she earned all-SEC honors as a freshman after hitting .308 with 28 runs batted in. Unfortunately, Warren had to have shoulder surgery to repair her rotator cuff and labrum during the off-season and Warren completely missed her second year and she still wasn’t one hundred percent in 2023 when she batted .182. Texas A&M eventually cut her and she transferred to South Carolina. She shared some horrendous experiences at South Carolina involving race and after a coaching change, was cut there as well. She was given incorrect academic advice by the USC staff that caused her not to graduate on-time (and thus be eligible to play immediately as a graduate student). She openly admitted to having some mental health issues due to her up and down career along with the death of her two-year old sister in 2019 while under her care. The NCAA considers mental health issues a valid reason for not playing. You hear stories of players getting seven and eight years to play and then she is denied a fourth year. The NCAA is a total clown show! Sam will have a story posted soon. I am posting as Bre Warren fan. She is a wonderful young lady and I am so very sorry this happened to her. ** Edited by VTChip at 4/15/2026, 9:59:13 AM
