If E leaves do you think she changes her mind and goes somewhere else? I assume she has already signed her NLI, but if there is a change in the coaching staff I think the NCAA will let her out of her commitment.

Not sure as I do not really know her. However, if I had her ear which I do not, I would strongly suggest she stay the course. Worst case E, another pitcher and some other players leave. It is still the SEC and as a kid out fresh out of HS she will be presented with a huge opportunity. It would be one thing to be a Junior/Senior and deal with the shenanigans at Mizzou. But this thing will get turned around, and very quickly if E stays there.
That's up to the school to grant a waiver, not the NCAA.
As for Paige Lowary, she initiated the investigation because of alleged verbal abuse.
I think the NCAA can override the University when there is a coaching change, but I am NOT an expert on the subject. I know when the Baylor football coach was fired, the NCAA allowed recent signees to change schools without penalty.
Baylor granted them a release from their NLI.

When the Baylor football coach was fired I think the recently signed players were released with no conference restrictions.
While the school may grant you a release, the conference may be another story. They may have the ability to have you sit out a year if you transfer to another school within the conference. Just as the SEC did with the Fagan sisters after their departure from Florida.
Well another Pitcher leaves. Tori Finucane now at Minnesota. Big 10 should be happy.

Finucane hasn't been the same since her injuries. She was also pretty quiet during the whole thing with the investigation so it was rumored she was in the camp wanting to see E go. I guess this would mean that rumor was probably true.
