Dad, Husband....legend
This is sheer speculation....like all my posts. But my guess is it has to be treated like any other medical situation that prevents her from playing, basically just like an injury. I doubt they can pull a scholarship specifically due to pregnancy without also parting ways with a hefty settlement from the lawsuit that would follow.

Well google is your friend looks like the NCAA has a policy, and just skimming it looks like she keeps her scholarship, she has to stay in school and engaged with athletic dept.

Scholarships are year-to-year, so I assume the coaching staff could cut her after the first year if they did not think she was going to come back and contribute to the team.
And just like that, my joy of winning our first game goes to fear of my DD becoming pregnant before she graduates from college. She is only 7 so this fear will continue to grow and I will go insane at some point.
God have mercy on the poor boy that asks my daughter out for the first time.

Take comfort in the knowledge that young ladies often learn a lot about self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-respect by playing this sport. Those factors, in addition to becoming a strong and powerful badass who knows how to hit stuff really hard with a big stick, may likely result in a young man being FAR more afraid of your DD's wrath than yours...
...as it should be.

You know if it happened to my DD I would be disappointed for the opportunity lost for about a day. Then I would be stoked about a grand baby!! Granted the situation in which it happens makes a difference. One night stand, I'm probably not too happy with her. High school sweetheart and turns up pregnant junior year of college, very much a different situation and backed to being stoked!! As much as we still consider them our babies, they are grown women that make choices and have to live with them.
Love this and so true!
