Texas Tech PVer Shade Weygandt goes pro

[Marlow]

I assume that if she's actually signed a pro contract (and I've no reason to think she has)

Agreed. I'd be very surprised if anyone has offered her anything.

Telling the head coach that you quit in July and not showing up to a single practice, team meeting, or compliance meeting in the fall means both you and the track program have parted ways... No need for further scholarship talks under these circumstances.

If that's what she did, she wouldn't have gotten any scholarship for the fall semester to begin with, so any talk of yanking anything half-way and expecting pro-rated reimbursement would be indeed moot.

You're a U.S. pole vaulter, you're done with school (for whatever reason) and you're going to keep jumping because, you know, it's what you do and you're not done doing it. Saying you're going pro sounds a lot better -- and at least opens the door for offers -- than saying you're "going unattatched."
