I was told by a parent of a kid on last years team that in the middle of the season around 10 girls were cut from the team.


Probably more like Dad wanted to her go to Syracuse so he could say she was on the team and she was on the bottom end of the roster with no scholarship. Then around mid season she realized the team and the coach controlled her life as they were pushing for a national championship. At that point they probably cut themselves and quit. Any girl that was used to being the "girl" and then finds herself not playing is a tough adjustment. I don't think people realize how much time the kids put in.

Google the UNC lawsuit by players saying they were forced to put in 50-60 hours per week which deprived them of an education. That lawsuit led to a blind self NCAA reporting questionnaire sent to all D1 athletes in all sports where the average was 40+ hours per week with the team. This is why many schools choose your major for you. First time parents BEWARE!! Low D1, D2 and D3 might be better for many kids.
