NCAA Road To Nationals

Coaches Jason Fredericks and his wife (former national team member) Mary Beth Arnold have been quietly working on a massive new NCAA Gymnastics site.

Jason’s Mom is Wanda Fredericks, Jake Dalton’s first coach.

Jason’s got experience. He’s one of the creators of Poptropica, an online kids game with over 500 million accounts.

I’ll be following the new site closely. 🙂

From the trailer, it’s pretty easy to see how the NFL fares in the documentarians’ hands: “Frontline investigates what the NFL knew, and when they knew it,” the narrator says. Then, an interviewee adds, “you can’t go against the NFL. They’ll squash you.” …
