yeah, loyd has caught flack from coaches and teammates for leaving early. Kate Fagan wrote this article in support...

In case anyone forgot, women play year-round. McGraw failed to acknowledge this when predicting Loyd's rookie salary. Sure, Loyd will probably make around $47,000 as a rookie in the WNBA. But when that season ends, she'll travel overseas for the winter, where she'll probably make upwards of $200,000 for the season. All told, when you also account for endorsements, Loyd will likely make somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000 next year.

That number makes her decision look a little different now, doesn't it?

So let's look at that decision through a new lens: Loyd could make around $300,000 developing her pro skills a year early, challenging herself on the next level, or she could play for free for Notre Dame, while McGraw collects a yearly salary around $1.1 million, including bonuses.
