She's going pro.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Not the off-season news we wanted to hear.

This program continues to head in the wrong direction. Joining the path of volleyball, womens's basketball, and softball.

This creates a great opportunity for other terrific players to step up and for the team to stop relying on one mercurial player to create everything.

This was not unexpected. I thought she was always a risk to leave after this past season. At most we would have gotten one more season with her. There were some rumblings of disagreements with the coaches at times during the season. And at times she didn't play well and effort was a question mark.

Now it makes sense why we hit the transfer portal for more midfielders. I would expect to maybe see another one as well if talent is available. This is a big offseason for the coaching staff and we need to have a good season this Fall or I'll start getting concerned about the direction of the program long term.

Has Coach G. and staff recruited well enough to bring the team back into national prominence? It appears that he's got some good players… I guess only time will tell

Glad she has the opportunity to play professionally

The players that built this program from ground up never got the chance

Hope she does well

Just curious, bur how would you feel if your daughter made this decision (free education from TAMU to go play pro Mexican soccer)?

Make that money as a professional rather than playing for free. There are a limited amount of games in those legs and might as well get paid for it. Save some of those pro paychecks and pay for college later on if that's important to you as an individual.

Any ideas on how much she is going to make?

Lot's of factors we don't know:

1. How much is she making playing soccer?
2. What kind of student is she? Was she on track to graduate?
3. Can she take classes while she is playing?


Lot's of information we don't have before we can speculate. I was surprised that she did not stay at least one more year, but if this is her dream then I am happy for her. College is all about opening doors to pursue your career path, and if her career paths had been opened she should absolutely take advantage of them.
