about that ‘Coaching Shortage’
Tony Retrosi:
Gymnasts who could choose to become coaches are choosing not to. …
As gym owners we need to make coaching a profession. Educate our staff. Make them proud of what they do. We need to charge for classes and team enough to pay our staff a sustainable wage. If we do that we will see the ranks of coaches grow. Making coaching and teaching gymnastics a competitive profession.

American Olympians can now thank sponsors
Following the IOC’s relaxation of the restrictions placed on Olympic participants during the Olympic Games period pursuant to Bylaw 40.3 of the Olympic Charter (colloquially known as “Rule 40”) earlier this year, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (“USOPC”) finally released its guidance on how Olympic athletes’ personal sponsors that are not IOC or Team USA sponsors may run marketing campaigns incorporating athletes during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games blackout period (which is July 14, 2020 through August 11, 2020) – and now permits personal sponsor advertising during the blackout period under certain circumstances and only for two particular types of marketing.

California: College athletes can be paid 2023
Scholarship athletes are already paid to compete NCAA.
What we are talking about here is allowing the best to negotiate to be paid more.
Defying the NCAA, California’s governor signed a first-in-the-nation law Monday that will let college athletes hire agents and make money from endorsements — a move that could upend amateur sports in the U.S. and trigger a legal challenge.
Under the law, which takes effect in 2023, students at public and private universities in the state will be allowed to sign deals with sneaker manufacturers, soft drink makers or other businesses and profit from their images, names or likenesses, just like the pros. …

But while the NCAA is the top governing body for college sports, membership is voluntary. If the California schools are forced out, they could form a new league. …
The NCAA does let some athletes accept money in some instances. Tennis players can accept up to $10,000 in prize money per year, and Olympians can accept winnings from their competitions. Plus, schools in the big “Power 5” conferences can pay players yearly cost-of-living stipends of between $2,000 and $4,000.
The NCAA reported $1.1 billion in revenue in 2017.
For example, here’s what Katelyn Ohashi thinks about the issue.
