College Monica "The Queen" Aldama Retires

[JBS]

What does everyone think of this one?​

I wouldn't be shocked if they let her retire in lieu of other options they may have taken.

This is definitely a “gave you the option of retiring instead of launching an investigation & reporting and/or firing you” situation.

exactly what I was thinking

 

[wishfulthinking]

WOW. I wonder who's going to be her replacement.

 

[Keep_Believing]

She was cleared of all charges and back on the approved list. Her program has 2 assistant coaches, possibility one of them will take over.

I heard that Gabi Butler will take over

OMG!

I don't think this means bad things didn't happen there though. We know that people have been taken off before that should not have been, and "investigations" are questionable at best (especially for those with connections, friends, money and power in the industry which she has all off).

I hope she truly retires and enjoys herself and can be happy with the success she achieved. I really hope the young adults going there find the program they expected in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether or not it was her decision, there would be continued scrutiny for both her and the school if she stayed. Whatever happened, I believe it was the best decision for her going forward.

It sounds like the assistant coach Dustin Valazquez will be taking over.

Coach Dustin's post:
"The queen Monica Aldama! ! I’m grateful for you. You changed my life multiple times over. I have so much to be thankful for. I can’t say thank you enough for always taking care of me and my family. From being coached by you, to having you by my side in battle for National Championships. I believe God has guided our steps according to his will and his plan for our lives. I’m so thankful to work side by side with such a Godly woman. You have inspired me and many others to want greatness! I will carry your torch and legacy on. I hope to continue to make you proud everyday. Long live The Queen! There will never be another like you."

A coach doesn't just retire mid season especially after proclaiming innocence for so long.

Wow. I didn’t know that—man, I’m totally out if the loop! It certainly will be interesting to see where she lands next because according to an article in People magazine, she “can still help effectuate changes that we need in the world, and certainly in the sport of cheerleading.” This statement causes me to wonder if she might land somewhere in the ranks of Varsity or the NCAA.
