. @espn.com elevated the presentation, storytelling and visibility of #NCAAGym in ways that changed public perception. My concern is that the sport has not capitalized on that momentum aggressively enough.

In this new era of college athletics, can women's gymnastics survive?

I thought about retiring this but it feels like it could be the beginning of an interesting year...

#NCAAGym Women's Championships - Team Finals viewership on ABC: 2021 - 808K 2022 - 922K 2023 - 1.02M 2024 - 856K 2025 - 1M 2026 - 1.1M

Yes, teams can rise. Yes, great coaching can close gaps. Yes, magical seasons happen. But over time? The sport trends back toward its resource centers. That’s not cynicism, it’s economics... www.extrapointsmb.com/p/here-s-wha...

It really is time to take the car keys away from grandpa!

HC changes 🧵 With NIL, the transfer portal, roster limits, and the day-to-day reality of running a #NCAAGym program, the head coaching job has never been more complex. We all know not every situation works and changes have to be made.

Rudy loves his Saturday morning animal shows.

I shared this with all #NCAAGym coaches back in 2009. Since then, we’ve seen meaningful progress in changes to the championships format and growth of live broadcasts. While I would make some minor changes today, for the most part, I stand by it and continue to push for change.

BREAKING: Bold new era for #NCAAGym announced: – No routines that don’t count – No meets that don’t count – DEV L-10 CoP applied – Judges' scores must reflect reality Making the sport more… Challenging Understandable Unpredictable Fast-paced Entertaining

🧵 I’m a little late to the Jason Buttons @gymcastic.com interview and the NAWGJ's response, but… The National Association of Women’s Gymnastics Judges statement addresses the messenger, not the message...

#NCAAGym leveling up: • More Challenging • More Unpredictable • More Understandable • Faster-paced • More Entertaining Everything Matters!

Dear #NCAAGym: • Require more for a 10.0 SV. • Move to 5-up, 5-count. • Pay NAWGJ to oversee and evaluate judging. • Eliminate exhibition routines. 🧵None of these are radical. All would make the sport better.👇 1/6

I coached 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 and served on the championship committees that made those changes. I helped fight for 1 VT and 4-team sessions. We even got 5/5 passed by the @WCGA once but it was not approved by the #NCAAGym Committee. Progress in sport rarely begins with consensus.

🧵Unpopular opinion: #NCAAWGym would be better with a 5-up, 5-count format. Difficulty is driven by the code. Urgency is driven by format. Right now, #NCAAGym could use more of both. The goal isn’t to make gymnastics easier. It’s to make every routine matter. My 5 top reasons for 5/5👇 1/6

Programs rarely collapse overnight. Years of inconsistent funding, limited institutional support, and the decision to place the future of the program in the hands of an inexperienced head coach created instability that student-athletes ultimately paid for... 1/2

🧵 Five reasons #NCAAGym needs to eliminate exhibition routines. 1. At some point we have to decide what we want this sport to be. Is it a high-level, pressure-packed team competition or is it a loosely structured showcase?

I got a request this week from a local journalist to see if I wanted to comment on Utah's deal with Otro Capital and the potential impact it may have on women's sports. Here was my reply...

Me: I’m hemorrhaging billions, restructuring millions of people out of jobs, and nudging the stock market toward the edge of a cliff. What’s the smart move here? AI: Easy. Blow a mountain of cash on Super Bowl ads so bad they make people miss the insurance commercials.

I don’t agree with every point the author makes, but he brings up some genuinely thoughtful concerns about what happens long term when the profit-driven goals of private equity start intersecting with the nonprofit mission of higher education. 👇 www.thesling.org/can-private-...

Keep the fans in the stands! #NCAAGym
