Aari McDonald

[Merkin]

Strange story here. Aari started the masters program at UA for her final season, and thought UA was going to pay for her to complete it after she left for the WNBA, but the UA ended up sending her to collections, so she is finishing up at ASU.

Adia said that isn't possible under current NCAA rules, but Adia would have offered her a grad assistant position if she knew she was interested. Apparently they don't keep in touch much, outside of happy birthday.

Aari makes $73K a year in the WNBA, obviously not a huge salary. That's the same salary a CSC major gets when graduating from the UA.

It's odd that she could be in collections at AZ and be eligible to enroll at TNTC.
Seems like the state wouldn't allow that since they are both state schools.
