WHY DID THE GRAMBLING WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL COACH CUT THE ENTIRE TEAM?
Did you hear about that unprecedented but legal action that the new Grambling State women’s volleyball coach pushed through when she was hired a few months ago?
In short, she basically told the entire returning team that their scholarships were not going to be renewed and that their places on the roster were gone. There’s an interesting spin on what went down behind the scenes, and now, it turns out that this new coach has been fired from her coaching job at Grambling.
I find this all of this fascinating - and scary - because when this coach had first started to make these cuts with the current players, the Grambling AD was quoted as confirming that this coach had every right to do this, and in short, he seemed to applaud her efforts. Just imagine that if you were one of the women who was told that her scholarship money was gone.
But now, there’s been a total turnaround. We had some great phone calls on this issue this AM on what this could mean for other athletes on college scholarships. Take a listen here: The Sports Edge with Rick Wolff
