No need to be sad or think anything is being trivialized if "shirting" is simply an informal term for offering a bid outside formal recruitment. Wouldn't it fall in the same category as "pinning," "ribboning" and "lavaliering"?

I don't think she's saying she just wants a shirt; at least, I don't read her that way. I assume she is just using the terminology that is common on her campus.
