Should NCAA Men switch to the 10.0 system.

Oklahoma Head Coach Mark Williams doesn’t think so.

Personally I don’t think it would work to improve chances the American Collegiate program survives.

Right now some of the Men’s teams are doing a poor job of social media, LIVE competition video and LIVE scoring. At almost zero budget, that would be the best first step.

It might be worth keeping FIG scoring while doing more to publicize high E-score routines. Post the E-score alongside final score, for example.
