Can NCAA Gymnastics survive?

Greg Marsden:

The increase from 12 to 20 scholarships disproportionately benefits programs already operating at the highest financial level.

Add to that revenue sharing, NIL deals, and the Transfer Portal, and we’re seeing a new era where athlete movement and financial incentives are no longer just variables; they’re defining factors.

For smaller or mid-size programs, these changes present existential challenges. The ability to compete, retain talent, and build sustainable success is now tied more directly to money than ever before. …

Gymnastics Booster Block PRO

Every coach loves “blocks” in the Gym. We use them non-stop.

But it doesn’t take long before they get too soft for many purposes.

I’d definitely pay the extra for the Tumbl Trak Booster Block PRO as the useful lifetime for my purposes would be increased.
