i think you misunderstand why i think what i do about the events.
from the outside it appears she did exactly what she was asked to do on the kick off. now, if she was nervous. mishit the ball, and that was the reason for the 20-yard kick that is very understandable.
if however, after all that had been said and done prior to the game, vandy asked her to do that on the kick off the question is why?
if it was to protect her then don't put her on the field if you think she is in danger and if you did it simply for the "event' factor that she is no different than the blind long snapper at usc which means it was a contrived event.
additionally, espn has gone on and on about it after the fact as if she was a marathon runner who ran in the open field against the men and won.
no knock on her, she did what she was asked, but a woman had kicked in a d-1 game before and had scored in a live, real situation
not sure why her having tcu connections would change those thoughts as i am not judging her the person, but the way vandy involved her in the game, and how espn has covered it before, during and after
