Pregnancy is not an illness or injury, something that happened to her. It required a willful act on her part in order for it to have happened. She was an athlete, with a contract, and she voided the contract. End of story.

Frequently. Sometimes male athletes lose their scholarships because their sport is eliminated to accommodate women's sports under Title IX. No injury, pregnancy, or failure to adhere to a signed contract necessary.

The redshirt option was made available to her, and she ended up with a scholarship after she gave birth. Boo freakin' hoo.
