Episode Description
In an unprecedented move, USA Gymnastics has terminated GAGE's membership. We break down the letter sent to parents, the revolving door of suspended "owners", and what this means for the elite athletes caught in the middle. A preivew of the new Mixed Team format at the American Cup, discuss if the US is violating the Olympic Charter, and celebrate Stanford joining the 198 club in spectacular fashion. Plus, we answer tons of letters.
College & Cocktails had a full GAGE Rage update on Saturday.
