While she is playing in several pro tournaments in Turkey this month, she has not lost her college eligibility. As long as she only accepts winnings that cover her expenses, she is eligible to play at Penn next semester. She is still listed on the Penn tennis team roster and is ranked #19 on the ITA rankings. I hope she comes back to Penn. While she won a $10,000 tournament last week, she lost in straight sets in the semi-finals yesterday. Maybe a good strategy would be for Connie to come back to Penn tis spring and do the same thing next year. She would then complete 2 years at Penn and have a good idea whether it is advisable to turn pro full time or stay at Penn. I do think that with 2 years at Penn she would eventually get her degree, although I would have preferred for her to stay a full 3 years would have been in a better position to get her degree. italeBarrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-80678070734597676892011-09-15T15:51:32.063-04:002011-09-15T15:51:32.063-04:00And to give up that Ivy League education...boy, I ...And to give up that Ivy League education...boy, I don't know!!!!work-hard-tennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527717750740121251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-90541191745542272442011-09-15T00:58:48.278-04:002011-09-15T00:58:48.278-04:00When was it announced that Connnie left Penn and ...When was it announced that Connnie left Penn and turned pro.
