Both true but you can’t really make and argument that Barnett has had a comparable college career to Appleton so far. Two top 4 finishes at nationals, and a conference title, a 9:04 3k and a 15:36. 4 time trials in a row is cool, but consistently showing up when it counts means more
Because it's her 2nd time, she would indeed not qualify for an automatic waiver. But she could claim it's for a mental health reason and that would pass or assault or discrimination...
this is correct^^^ (there is the potential for a waiver but it's not a simple process)

UCLA could also hold her to her NLI which doesn't mean she has to stay, but it means she could sit out a year if she did the 444.
If she's forced to sit out a year, which I'm assuming she'll have to, won't she be unable to compete unattached as well? Since she won't be eligible? Our NCAA compliance department won't allow anyone who isn't regularly eligible to compete to run unattached. That would be a blow to an athlete of her caliber.

I'm not aware of this rule. I would think she can run unattached and train with whatever team she joins. I'll ask our compliance guy next time I see him.
Didn’t Pendergast go from Harvard to Oregon and then back to Harvard?
So going back to UVA isn’t out of the question?
True. I do think it's different to be like "wait the coach left, I'm back because I have to" versus "I actually don't want to go all in on running". Pendergast wanted to go back to Harvard, I assume, versus Barnett would be forced back due to the Brosnan stuff.
I think you forgot that barnette was the highest place finisher at Cross Country nationals for UVA last and the low stick of the team. Barnett also had a better 1500m PR and ran the 4:08-4:10 range four weeks in a row.
Atkinson and Appleton were just seconds behind. Might I add this was the only race where Barnett was UVAs #1
The truth of the matter is, and high school recruits are always told this, don't go to a school for the coach.
Select your school based on the school. Things change.
Absolutely this- look into the school town/city, environment you are choosing. Now of you if realize none of those are what you expected then…but following coaches all over can’t be the best plan. Who I really feel for are the ucla runners who have been there from the start and keep losing not only coaches but teammates. Bonding and accepting new people to only have them up and leave and having no stability.
For those wondering, I'll clarify the NCAA rules: Barnett and McDonnell will 100% have to sit out a full year unless they either return to their previous school (Virginia and Alabama), which isn't happening, or they decide to stay at UCLA. There will be zero waivers accepted for this. They will not win any appeals. They will absolutely, without a single doubt, not be competing until Fall 2024 if they transfer.
one transfer - that is it. If we keep NIL and transfer portal - stop college sports. have pro leagues fund a minor league system. Start pro running teams and leagues and sponsors fund them.
these kids that are one and done - don't go to class - ever. Taxpayers should not have to pay for this
Parker Valby, Flomena Asekol, Amelia Mazza-Downie, Elise Thorner, Mia Barnett ... that's got a nice (NCAA Championship) ring to it. Asekol is a 4:11 runner so comparable to Barnett at the distance. Florida beach life; SoCal without the taxes.
There are no beaches near Gainesville
1.5 hour drive to St Augustine, pretty common trip for students. I did it 2-3x a week for surfing when I lived there.
Brosnan gets her to leave the stability of uva, then he’s gone leaving Barnett in the lurch and having to sit a year looking for a third school in three years
