Grappling with Scandal

[TripleB]

EDINBORO, Pa. - Wrestling had been Paul Donahoe's life since he was 6 years old and pinned his first opponent in a mere six seconds. In high school, he was chosen Mr. Wrestler for the state of Michigan in 2004. In college, he was a two-time All-American and a national champion at the University of Nebraska.

And then, in less time than it took him to pin an opponent, his life was tangled up in blue.

Donahoe and teammate Kenny Jordan were dismissed from the Nebraska wrestling team last Aug. 12 after a campus blog posted pictures of them taken from a website that features photos and videos of naked male athletes for a gay audience. Nebraska, citing NCAA rules that prohibit the use of an athlete's image for commercial gain, also accused Donahoe of additional violations.

Donahoe was shattered.

He got paid $15,000 for that and he had to donate all of it.
if you ask me he still shouldn't have been dismissed. Its Nebraska's loss.
