The Gymnastics Association of Collegiate Teams (GymACT) was officially founded in 2018 with six teams, but it’s true roots date back to the last millennium.
Arizona State University cut its men’s gymnastics program from the athletic department in 1993, though it couldn’t stop a dedicated group of coaches and athletes from wanting to perform at a high level.
The default ‘backup’ option for athletes was to compete as a collegiate club gymnast, though ASU, along with the University of Washington, wanted to compete in stricter and more competitive environments.
Longtime ASU coach Scott Barclay was certainly a catalyst in these discussions, and evidently led his way up into forming GymACT and serving as President for its first few seasons. …
Where We Are Now
As we stand today, GymACT has grown to match the NCAA’s number of 15 teams in the league. …
More Teams, More Opportunities, More Hype — GymACT Is on the Rise
Here are the GymACT rankings as of March 12, 2025.

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Wednesday that philanthropist Ross Stevens had gifted the organisation $100 million (€922,000), the largest single monetary donation it has received in its history, in a move to fund the post-retirement plans of US athletes. …
Worth up to $200,000 (€184,000) per athlete per Games participation, a one-time Olympian or Paralympian is eligible to receive $100,000 (€92,000) 20 years after their qualifying Games or when they turn 45 and then another $100,000 (€92,000) will go to designated athlete beneficiaries upon their death. …
The fund will start with the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games next year and go through to at least the 2032 Summer Games in Brisbane.

Becoming Sam Phillips debuts March 13, 2025.
The decorated gymnast made his name as the only out athlete at Nebraska, a Big Ten school known for its iconic athletic program. But as the flagship university of a deep red state, Phillips quickly found the school wasn’t interested in promoting inclusion, or the visibility he was trying to create for the LGBTQ+ community. …
The athletic department refused to share Phillips’ viral video for National Coming Out Day, and his coaches’ feelings about queer advocacy ranged from apathy to downright contempt. Phillips says one of the team’s volunteer coaches proudly called himself a homophobe, while deriding Phillips with an insulting nickname: “brown sugar.” …
