Sedona Prince has been a notable name in the landscape of women’s college basketball for the past few years. But she recently made headlines for abuse allegations brought against her by multiple women.

Here are some things to know about one of the top players on the TCU women’s basketball team:

TCU career​

Prince has been a star player for the Horned Frogs this season. In 25 appearances, she is averaging 17.6 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while shooting better than 60% from the floor.

Prince has helped lead an upstart 23-3 TCU team to the No. 11 ranking in the country. The Horned Frogs are in a tie for first place atop the Big 12 with Kansas State and Baylor, and are undefeated at home this season.

She averaged 19.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in 2023-24, her first season in Fort Worth.

Prince’s abuse allegations​

Prince has recently been accused of a string of abuse allegations by multiple women, according to an investigation published Wednesday by The Washington Post. She has been accused of sexual assault, domestic violence and sexual misconduct, with alleged incidents dating back to 2019 and as recent as last month.

Prince, through her attorney, A. Boone Almanza, denied all allegations of abuse, “whether mentally, emotionally or physically.” TCU did not immediately respond to The Dallas Morning News when emailed Wednesday about the allegations.

Various women, anonymous and by name, made allegations against Prince on social media, to law enforcement and in court documents, according to The Post. Two who accused her of domestic violence were asked to sign nondisclosure agreements, and others were threatened with legal action, The Post reported.

Throughout the allegations, Prince has remained a part of TCU’s program and has played all but one game this year. She is a projected first-round pick in this spring’s WNBA draft.

Prior to TCU​

Prince is in her third college program and is having her best season. The Austin native spent a year at Texas and two at Oregon before dropping out of school and not playing in the 2022-23 season. She then followed her former assistant coach at Oregon Mark Campbell to TCU when he accepted the head coaching job ahead of last season.

Viral NCAA fame​

Prior to landing at TCU, Prince was already a famous name in college athletics after posting viral videos about the discrepancy between the weight rooms at the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournament bubbles in San Antonio in 2021. She also positioned herself as one of the leading voices for college athlete pay, becoming a plaintiff in two lawsuits against the NCAA that recently resulted in a $2.8 billion settlement.

Where did Prince go to high school?​

Prince became a star basketball prospect at Liberty Hill High School, just north of Austin. She was a McDonald’s All-American, and tabbed as the No. 8 overall recruit in the nation by ESPN as a high school senior.

She graduated from Oregon with a bachelor’s degree in general social science in May 2022, and is pursuing a master of liberal arts degree at TCU.

OK. Googled it.

I’m embarrassed to have TCU associated with such a b.s. degree, particularly a post-bachelor’s degree.
That’s a degree for people that didn’t go to college to get a degree late in life. I.E. a money grab.
Actually, it is not. I have an MLA from TCU and one of my classmates was Chris Farkas (Whitewolf). It is a self-directed degree with classes offered by all the schools within TCU. I happened to be interested in history, so almost all the classes I selected were related to history. Before signing up for the program, I checked with the chairman of the English Dept and asked him the same question. He assured me that it was most definitely NOT a BS degree and was taught by some of the best professors at TCU. If a prof in some department had a suggestion for a course they wanted to add to the curriculum, it was not uncommon for the department head to have them develop their idea and introduce it in the MLA program to work it up. I had nothing but the best teachers in the MLA program. Finally, a lot of the other students were teachers in the FWISD, as they stepped up in pay after getting an advanced degree. This exposure to TCU was definitely good for the school and FWISD. Be embarrassed if you like, but maybe check a little bit before spewing this kind of ignorant nonsense.

Ignorant nonsense?
It’s the summer camp of post-graduate education.
No thesis. Nothing contributed to any scholarly discipline. Learn the course material and regurgitate for an exam Just a picnic for people with time and money. Like binge-watching PBS, and being the first one in your neighborhood with a master’s.
if it’s worth a bump at work maybe it’s a smart move for folks that don’t have time or resources for what used to be called an honorable M.A.
My apologies for rolling my eyes.
