What? Then why wouldn't they just edit that entire segment out? Or at least the part about transferring. The whole point of this podcast series is to make the athletic department look good. Having a star player come on and tell everybody that she's transferring to another school does not make the athletic department look good. That is a self-inflicted wound. Does A&T offer the courses that she needs to obtain her master's ?

Don't know; don't care.
She is free to do whatever she feels is in her best interest. We just shouldn't be promoting a star player transferring from our university on our own podcast.
The whole point of the podcast is to lob softball questions and get feel-good answers. People aren't tuning in each week to hear Brian and Spencer do some hard-hitting reporting.
It's a public relations tool for the athletic department. Simple as that. And this was not good PR.

Maybe no one was aware of her entering portal ?

That's what they make adobe premiere for.
There is a simple concept called "post production editing".
Just go back to the part where the hosts first asked Edie about her plans in the fall ... delete all that ... and then return back to the rest of the interview.

to me, much to do about nothing. these things happen at almost all d1 schools. we luv it when grad transfers choose to attend a&t, but we "never" like it when the shoe is on our foot.
i wish the young lady all the success in the world and me personally, i don't care that she appeared on our podcast. life goes on.
"sometimes" when a college coach and the school they represent show support for players who transfer to another school or go pro, it is a "positive reflection" on the coach/school in the eyes of potential recruits because it shows the recruit that the coach/school supports the best interests of their athletes even if the athlete transfers or go pro...

If the star volleyball player for Duke announced that she is transferring to A&T next season, would that be anywhere on the Duke website?

If the star volleyball player for Duke announced that she is transferring to A&T next season, would that be anywhere on the Duke website? to me, its really not a big deal. i don't see how it "hurts" a&t to allow her to participate on the podcast, i really don't. how does that "hurt" a&t? to me, its a "class act" to allow her to be on the podcast because it shows that a&t doesn't harbor any bad feelings toward her just because she decided to transfer. you're right, a lot of schools perhaps like the duke's of the world (but not necessarily duke) would not have been as cordial as a&t was and to me, that's a bad look for those schools to show "sour grapes" that way. i personally don't like to see any of our star athletes transfer to another school, but at the same time i realize that it's a "personal" decision for an athlete to do so and i wish them well nonetheless as long as they don't play against us. we get our fair share of star athletes transferring to a&t and i believe we gain more than we lose. so i personally don't have a problem with the young lady being on our podcast even though she's transferring...
