Asia Todd, a Liberty University women’s basketball guard, has released a video announcing that she is preparing to transfer colleges. The North Carolina freshman had started 25 of the 31 games she played in and was fourth on her team, averaging 8.6 points per game. Todd was also named to the ASUN All-Freshman this year, but will not be returning to Liberty for her sophomore year.
“This decision had nothing to do with basketball or the program for this decision was simply bigger than basketball,” Todd said in a video she posted to Twitter. “The basketball program, the coaching staff and my teammates at Liberty was amazing. However, due to the racial insensitivities shown within the leadership and culture, it simply does not align with my moral compass or personal convictions. Therefore, I had to do what I felt was best within my heart and stand up for what is right.”
