USA Gymnastics entire board to resign over Larry Nassar scandal
Quote: After an ultimatum by the U.S. Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics said Friday it will comply with a demand for its entire board of directors to resign within a week over handling of the Larry Nassar sex-abuse scandal.

The three top members of the board resigned earlier in the week, months after President Steve Penny stepped aside under pressure. But that didn't quell criticism, and the Olympic Committee called for bigger changes.

In a statement late Thursday, the committee outlined six conditions that USA Gymnastics must meet or be decertified as the national governing board for the sport.

"While the USOC encourages USAG to think and act broadly on reforming its culture, we also believe that reform must start with an entirely new board," CEO Scott Blackmun wrote.

Initially, USA Gymnastics released a statement that did not specify whether the board would resign.

"USA Gymnastics completely embraces the requirements outlined in the (letter)," the organization said. "Our commitment is uncompromising, and we hope everything we do makes this very clear."

On Friday, the organization clarified with a new statement: "USA Gymnastics will comply with the USOC requirements."

Additional Olympic Committee demands include requiring all staff and board members to complete SafeSport training offered by the U.S. Center for Safe Sport within three months and comprehensive ethics training within six months.

NASSAR is bad, but how long will the head football coach last at MSU as wells? 16 football players have been accused of rape, and another cover up there. MSU is getting hard big time.
