The final chapter of the Elena Delle Donne saga is nearly complete. She has asked to be released from her scholarship to UConn. Coach Geno Auriemma has given his blessing on the matter and the release is currently being processed at the administrative level. There is no timetable as to when the process will be complete.
Once Delle Donne is officially granted her release she will be eligible to play any sport this year at the University of Delaware, with the exception of basketball. Due to NCAA rules, she must still wait one year before playing basketball, a sport she dominated at the high school level.
Until Delle Donne is released from her scholarship she cannot participate in collegiate athletics of any kind for one year.
