I can appreciate well thought out points, but then there are views like these.
All views or questions are welcome.

Can someone explain to me why they think the Georgia coach should grant the exemption for this athlete to compete for another school immediately?
Still curious.

Tara is originally from Texas and all her family is in Texas outside of her mother who lives California.
Reason why UCLA, USC, TCU, Texas, and Texas A&M are considered.

Fair???? Violating a contract??
Mental well being overrides your attempt to make this about fulfilling an obligation that has no negotiation.
This is why the transfer rules are in place. Tara is not asking for anything that is not allowed under certain conditions.
Opinion is appreciated just not agreed with.

Always hard to predict the future. As a family we made the decision that Georgia was a great fit. Some uncontrollable things have happened and the relationship soured and the immediate support needed was too far away.
Remember this is an athlete that has traveled the globe on different USA teams. So being mentally strong is not an issue. It had to take a lot to have her make this decision.
Giving too much detail opens the door for more criticism. I understand not knowing everything leaves people to assume.
We only ask for support for a 19 year young lady making some difficult life choices.

The tweet by the coach is separate from all of this, but it should show a certain behavior that could have possibly sparked the move.
Being released is a decision by the University based on circumstances. I think Tara presented to the University multiple valid reasons why she wanted to transfer in her appeal. She just updated everyone through social media and asked for support as she goes through this stressful process.

This sounds fishy. Cryptic suggestion that Petros' behavior made Tara want to transfer. I want to hear more about what might have happened.
The best coaches set a high standard, and will not settle for anything less. Petros will ride you really hard to get you there - not because he is mean but rather because he knows what you can accomplish when you also hold yourself to that standard. Some athletes would rather just rely on their talent rather than put in the hard work necessary to be the best.
The soft athletes quit or transfer, the tough ones win Bowermans and countless national championships. Not saying this is what happened to Tara, but hopefully we'll get some info on the real reasons Tara is transferring.

Hey TTH, have you ever heard of a buyout?

I've heard straight from Floreal that Tara has already signed with Texas. She's just creating drama to get more social media followers.
