NCAA Iowa State cancels the remainder of the 2026 season

Well when your kid gets busted for having alcohol on a dry campus and have to go to a university court hearing, the parents want to know EVERYTHING.

"My son was drinking safe on campus, that is what college is for!"

"Your son is 19 and adult and one that is not legally able to drink anywhere let alone on a dry campus, regardless of your feelings. Have a good day."

I run a first-year program at a major university, and the parents are so awful lol

I teach a lot of first-years, and I'm thankful that I don't have to deal with their parents. I can just imagine how much grief they'd give me for humbling their special snowflakes on a daily basis. ("But Dylan got straight As in all of his high school history classes!")

Vague and unsettling.

1. Some of you are concerned about the future of the program.
2. So are we.
3. Gymnastics has had recurring problems.
4. Gymnastics is the only sport with these problems.
5. Gymnastics has the same resources as other sports, so we are obviously not the problem.

The decision to suspend the season resulted from a series of complex internal conflicts between individual teammates, coaching staff members, and parents. These conflicts created unreconcilable differences that not only prevented our team from competing, but they also prevented team members from carrying on their daily activities, including practice. In the end, suspending the remainder of the season was the only viable alternative.

What the absolute fuck went down?!

I would have to guess by those statements that they are seriously considering axing the program and maybe making way for a different women sport — I’ve heard rumblings of possibly womens wrestling or maybe another new women sport
