Spencer's health update
- Our accountant has advised us against accepting donations for Spencer. Everything that has been donated already is being sent to Spencer. The best way to support him is to honor his wishes against a GoFundMe. You could visit The Balance Beam Situation often and visit the site advertisers. Whether Spencer can work or not, GymCastic will continue to pay his salary to support his treatment. Long ago we agreed to be gymnastics married, in sickness and in health. Thanks to all of our GymNerd members who make that possible.

Fixing NCAA Judging With Dr. Hughes Mercier

Dr. Mercier PhD is the creator of JEP (Judges Evaluation Program) for the FIG. The project took 10 years to create. Jessica asked him how to he would approach NCAA judging with it's 10.0 system, plentiful ^ up to deductions and a review system based on coaches feedback. Scott Bregman and Jessica talked about the need for enforcement of the Code of Points and professionalizing judging on Behind The Scenes this week. Listen or watch the full episode here.

NIL Lowdown with Attorneys, Tasha Schwikert & Josie Leinert

Olympic medalist, World and NCAA champion, Tasha Schwikert Esq. joined Jessica with her co-worker Josie Leinert Esq. (née Loren, yes, as in Kaylie Cruz of Make it Or Break It fame) to talk about the realities of recruiting in the unregulated wild west of 2024 NIL.

NCAA Championship Preview

Official Championship Schedule

SEMIFINAL 1 Thursday, 3:30pm CT - LSU, Cal, Arkansas, Stanford

LSU - They have been runner-up to Oklahoma 4 times in the past decade.
Cal - Cal is the one team that holds up best with the naked eye.
Arkansas - If Cal or LSU has to count a fall, Arkansas has the scores to continue their gymnastics on ABC.
Stanford - The only unseeded team to advance to Championships.

SEMIFINAL 2 Thursday, 8pm CT - Oklahoma, Florida, Utah, Alabama

Oklahoma - This is about legacy. The dynasty has already been established, but Oklahoma has never three-peated.
Florida - Last year, the Gators finished just 0.15 behind Oklahoma and the year prior 0.1125. Can they find those extra tenths this Championship?
Utah - For the 48th consecutive season the Utes are back at Nationals and so is Maile O'Keefe, the reigning all-around national champion and beam champion.
Alabama - Ranked in the top 10 on every event except floor, which ironically they set a program record on this season with a 49.750.

Jessica honestly, truly cannot stop talking about Kendall Whitman
What do we make of Cal and Florida's performances? Will this carry over to regionals?

Plus, Maile O'Keefe's bars save, how eMjae Frazier encapsulated conference championships, Michigan State's confetti, Konnor McClain thriving in a championship environment, and a Corrupt or Correct about stuck Yurchenko 1.5s.
