Is There a Judging Problem in College Gymnastics? Just a Minute
Welcome to BamaCentral’s "Just a Minute," a daily video series featuring BamaCentral's Alabama beat writers. Three times a week, the writers will group up to provide their take on a topic concerning the Crimson Tide or the landscape of college sports.
Watch the video above as BamaCentral staff writer shares her view on scoring and judging in women's college gymnastics. In the final meet of the regular season, Alabama scored a 198.075 on the road at Oklahoma, yet the top-rated Sooners still won the meet by seven tenths of a point. Is Oklahoma really that much better, or does college gymnastics have an over-scoring problem?
