I agree.
But, I'm adjusting to "Hokies bailing on Hokies". That ship is sailing quickly. It's a new era. Sadly, I suppose.
We have no problem celebrating incoming players bailing on their former schools. If they help us win, we love them. We give them the "This is home" welcome for perhaps one year of mercenary service, with pay.
I find that female athletes are often judged differently than male athletes. If a dude can leave VT early to go to the NFL or the NBA, they are not necessarily labeled as someone who is bailing on the Hokies. They are perhaps capitalizing on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. It's accepted as cool, because of the $$$. If a female basketball player, softball player, etc., left with a Covid year of eligibility, as Amoore and others did, she's considered "bailing". Maybe that player did it for her small share of a money pie, too? Or what she considers in her best interest for a pro career? Who are we to say they shouldn't leave like the guys do? It's making more sense to me, even though I hate it.
I give Amoore credit for staying in Blacksburg 4.5 years. A teen Aussie kid, from half way across the planet.
She stayed far longer than many of our VT Sports Hall of Famers, and she is a graduate of VT. I imagine some of those sports heroes, and some posters on this board, can not say the same.
That said, I agree, there will be no honors for Amoore in Cassell. Life goes on.

I still have strong positive feelings for the time Georgia Amoore was here
