Thanks Dunno - you are awesome. Can you clarify (sorry if I am being picky) but is there a difference between being on the roster and being on the team. Does that make sense? Also, I was pretty sure there was a cap of athletes each school can bring to a meet and dress out and compete from. I...

I totally agree everyone makes mistakes. What hurts me the most is his tone and behavior during the arrest. Of course he was drunk but why was he in such a shape. He represents Ohio State University, The Sport of USA Men's Gymnastics and himself. I do wish him well, he needs counseling. He...

On all the news sources - check out Gymnastike too there is a link to video of arrest that is where I saw it

Does noone want to talk about the Paul Hamm arrest? I saw the video and it is even more disturbing. I thought it might have been blown out of porportion but it was not. He is lucky if he just gets probabtion. Is he trying out for celebrity rehab?? Mark it on your calendar he will be on that...

Wow, good thinking - a morals clause somehow. I think the NCAA does have something about profiting from one's image that would actually cover porn etc... But elite gymnastics is all about the money and while it seems impossible to think a gymnast could be an adult entertainer and national...

Yep, I said it earlier that the gay thing still hangs around other sports - mens rugby as a couple of players have come out as gay and womens softball etc.. Male gymnasts still have it pretty good as opposed to ice skaters but a couple of college mens teams have profiled their gay gymnasts...

Been around a long time and without being disrespectful there is a true gender difference in attitude etc... Everyone is right - the boys side of the coin start cultivating friendships and teammates and buddies from day one - the girls side unfortunately (most often) only see each other as...

Yep it has been said already but the men are men and the women are little girls. The men are mostly college age and older and are passionate about their sport and love the male bonding at meets and go big. The girls at the elite level are there to become america's darling and most don't have a...

It does not help with myth when there are several former male gymnasts that have moved on to the adult entertainment industry. Also there are gay male gymnasts - like gay male football players, rugby players etc... I think the gymnastics community and the guys involved are a little more...

My Question is - I have heard that there is a NCAA ruling that only 19 men can be on a Collegiate Team (counted in the Roster) - I think only 15 can travel. If this is true why is Illinois, Michigan and other schools already posting their team rosters on line with 21 and 24 and more athletes...

Makes sense to go ahead and name the team to create team unity and travel plans etc... I like the team - best they could come up with at the time. Sooner heavy - but that is OK - smart move - closer group of guys will help team unity. Chris Brooks is my favorite - would hope he would see...
