I'd like to see her go to Stanford Medical School with Mary Cain. My money is on Valby being a better doctor by far! I cannot stomach MC.

what would be the point of either of those? might as well go pro.
She could go pro and still go to grad school at Stanford or Duke. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
except the context was to remain competing in the ncaa as a grad; not possible if gone ‘pro’.

Good for her. You can not run fast forever. She will make more with a masters than she could make running?

Thanks for posting context, I had no idea what OP was talking about.
How does this work in the American college system? If she has graduated, does that mean she does not have eligibility left in the fall unless she attends another school? I believe she ran as a jr last XC season.
She gets 5 years to complete 4 seasons of each sport. (,due COVID 6 yrs to complete 5)
It's also possible with injuries to get some extended time.
Graduating or completing the bachelor's degree surprisingly has nothing to do with sports eligibility. If Valby wants to attend a masters program at Florida, she still has some track eligibility left.
The OP is assuming she will transfer to another school for masters. Others pose that she stops school and will just be a pro runner, or do masters degree while just running as pro. All options open.

Valby too smart for NC state wrote:
Probably a school like Stanford, Duke, or Notre Dame
What does that say about academics at NAU?

And Tony Sandoval.
I still can't get Kempainen spewing at the end of the '96' Trials marathon out of my head.. Thinking of that has helped me get through some tough runs.

She’ll demand Maatoug, Jenks, and any other sub 16:00 flat runner in the portal go to Florida to win her a championship. She will win and beat NAU.

Valby isn’t going anywhere.

I agree with you that her confidence makes her very attractive.

I have thought that Tony Sandoval was the most talented marathoner I have seen. Super light on his feet.

Parker is the most talented American runner in history. In addition, she is smart and humble and attractive. Somebody will pay her a silly mount of money to represent their brand.

Potentially dumb question, but do you need to be in the transfer portal if you have graduated?

The Nike money will be too much to pass up. She will turn pro and try to see how far she can get running low miles while cross training and possibly transition into a higher mileage training regiment. Hopefully, she will land with a coach who will be patient with her and not try to force her out of her current training program. Just keeping things constant, she has a very good shot at the 10k team for Paris.

Can you say NIL! She can probably make more in college than she can turning pro. Doesn’t say much about the state of pro track and field!
