You've gotten some great advice and suggestions. I have been thinking and here's how I'd tackle the "problem":
First, is she dropping the sport? If so, that becomes a "non-contributing" factor (unless her coach and former teammates are mean to her or something of the sort and she needs/has to transfer to get away from them).
Then, I would evaluate if the two schools are equivalent academically, as well as financially: to me that's an important factor to take into consideration. Always thinking about $$$$. And you're already looking at this (the academics piece) which is good.
Then I'd be thinking about distance from home (travel expenses). Because: $$$$
Then, what's the best fit for her major? Which you've addressed in one of your replies.
Then, I'd go into deciding about recruitment. You're already on it - securing alumnae for recs is huge and it's great that you can help her with this piece. It's a lot to expect a freshman athlete focused on her grades to also be seeking out recs in the middle of the semester, IMO. Sophomores do have successful recruitments at SEC schools. So do transfers. There are lots and lots of threads on GC about this topic. You'll see lots of negatives from the gloom and doomers, however, you'll also read from the successes and that's what I'd be zeroing in on - what did these PNMs do that made a difference and resulted in getting a bid?
Hope this is of some benefit. Please keep in touch, would like to know how this all shakes out.
