This one is wild. For those of you who can’t read the article, basically the contours of what’s publicly known: Multiple gymnasts go to the Athletic Director for help after experiencing abusive coaching. The AD brushes aside their concerns. It turns out the AD and head coach were in an “inappropriate relationship” with each other during that time. Add in that Rutger’s head coach was making more than Michigan State’s head coach (Michigan State won Big 10’s in 2024) with much inferior results.

Whew!

Wow. Salim-Beasley does not look great in this.

Likely she will be gone-gone.

Rutgers was apparently spending TONS of money on gymnastics, more than almost any other Big 10 team. Meanwhile, donations are absolutely plummeted. People were questioning WTF was going on, and I guess now we know why.

Salim-Beasley's father apparently also attacked gymnasts that came forward online. Fun times!

Governor Murphy had a statement on it so they are effed.

Looks like there is another coaching vacancy.

Looks like there is another coaching vacancy.

I’ll do it. I’m not super qualified but I’m usually nice to people and only get mad at the TV.

You’re hired.

The report is out. Rutgers has put Salim-Beasley on administrative leave.

That is that.

Head coach opening.

Wonder who would want to step up.

Anastasia Candia is currently in the position as associate head coach. Wonder if she will be named interim head coach or ....
