Men's gymnastics is about in the middle range of expense. Equipment is pricey, but it's not replaced that often. What hurts both men's and women's gymnastics is the need for dedicated training space that can't be used by other sports, or by most of the student body. Swimming isn't cheap, but...

Mike Burns (head coach of MN) has spoken out. So has Jake Dalton. Other stuff may be going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. It would be nice if USAG did something, but as it's currently in meltdown, probably it's not going to happen. Kerry Perry will probably never issue a...

That book doesn't seem to have anything to do with the evidence that Title lX destroyed men's gymnastics. It's about the policy in general. As I pointed out above, the book makes a big deal of Norma Cantu's 1996 letter about the proportionality prong being a "safe haven" - by that time men's...

Where is the evidence that Title lX destroyed men's college gymnastics? I would really like to know how people came to that conclusion.

Spreading distorted ideas and what are at best half truth are never good things. When it comes to Title lX, that's mostly what Hoff Sommers has to offer. Hoff Sommers isn't the only perpatrator of this when it comes to Title lX. Many of its most vocal public supporters are every bit as guilty...

Christina Hoff Sommers is prominent on this topic because she tells some people what they want to hear. She gets a lot wrong and distorts a lot of the rest. There is not and never was any "scorched earth campaign against men's sports" that she likes to bring up. Men's sports include football...

I did not use the word "private". The problematic sentence is ". In assessing the fairness of a school’s resource distribution, for example, why not consider the full array of athletic opportunities—from varsity, club, and intramural sports to dance, fitness, and outdoor exploration programs...

The review states the author claims Title lX does not apply to club sports. It does. The role of Title lX in the demise of men's intercollegiate gymnastics has been grossly exaggerated. It didn't help, but it's only one part of the story. The author of the book chooses 1996 as some watershed...

This is correct. Everyone competes both days. If I had to pick, the second day would be better. There will be more people in the audience and the Champions are decided that night. Be warned - hotels in Boston are VERY expensive. As far as Sam or Yul, my money is on Samuel. Sam already has more...

Exactly. And even if it's mostly parents and family that care, they deserve to be able to watch. Parents and families make a lot of sacrifices to get these guys to the level they are. Many men's NCAA teams have been doing livestreams for the past several years. It's not expensive and it's not...

Go ahead and make some noise. That USAG streamed HOPES 10 year olds but won't do the same for a meet with a 2 time Olympian, World team members, NCAA champions, and athletes from one of the most dominant teams in the history of all NCAA sports is just embarrassing. If the genders were reversed...

As a fan, this is one of my favorite things about men's gymnastics. Guys in the NCAA and even at Worlds cheering on, encouraging, and appreciating their both own teammates and competitors on other teams. I've seen NCAA meets where coaches on one team were giving technique tips to gymnasts from...

California has a camp. I believe there is still space in that one.
