Davison wrestler Paul Donahoe dismissed from Nebraska's team
Wednesday August 13, 2008, 9:14 AM
DonahoeLINCOLN, Nebraska — A former Davison High star and a fellow University of Nebraska wrestler have been dismissed from the team after posing naked for videos and photographs on an Internet pornography site.
Paul Donahoe of Davison, and Kenny Jordan were let go Tuesday, three days after a blog posted imags of them taken from Fratmentv.com, a Web site featuring naked or partially clothed male athletes.
Donahoe, an incoming senior, won the Big 12 championship at 125 pounds in 2008 and placed third in the NCAA tournament after winning the title the year before.
"The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat," coach Mark Manning said in a statement. "We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals.
"I want to personally apologize for any embarrassment that may have been caused for our athletic department, the university and our fans."
Manning didn't address the nature of the wrestlers' past transgressions, and didn't immediately return a message left on his cell phone seeking comment.
Donahoe and Jordan have had a series of run-ins with the law in Lincoln. Donahoe has paid fines for maintaining a disorderly house and having an open alcohol container, and Jordan has done so for possessing or consuming alcohol as a minor, trespassing and assault.
The Associated Press left an e-mail message with Donahoe seeking comment and has requested interviews with the men through the athletic department. Personal phone numbers couldn't be found.
The athletic department became aware of the images on the Internet late last week, assistant athletic director for compliance Josh White said. Donahoe and Jordan were declared ineligible because they violated an NCAA rule that prohibits athletes from appearing in pictures for commercial use, White said.
Donahoe and Jordan would have to apply to the NCAA for reinstatement if they choose to wrestle for another school, White said.
Jordan, a junior 133-pounder from Frankfort, Ill., was fourth in the Big 12 and failed to place at nationals this past season.
The Scarlet Project, a blog that touts itself for reporting "news, scandal and gossip" at the university, posted the pictures online but altered them so that they didn't show full nudity. The blog reported that they were obtained from an anonymous person.
John Marsh, who operates Fratmentv.com and two related Web sites catering to gay men, said he's spoken with Donahoe and Jordan and that both indicated they want to continue as college wrestlers. He said Donahoe was a "dynamite" wrestler. Its a gay website that has really taken off.
"If Nebraska is going to be pigheaded and kick him off unreasonably," Marsh said, "there has to be another wrestling program that's going to want him."
Marsh said most photo and video shoots are done in Los Angeles, where Fratmentv.com is based, but that some are done at other locations.
Members of Fratmentv.com pay $24.99 for access to hundreds of images and videos.
Marsh wouldn't say how much he pays models or how he hires them.
"It's not money that they would be making working as a waiter," he said. "They get well-compensated. It's better than beer money."
Marsh said his models typically don't care about videos and pictures of them being seen on the Web.
"I'm in my mid 40s, and my generation has a stigma about porn," he said. "The kids, the generation of the student-athletes, don't have that stigma. They really don't care.
"They've come from a Paris Hilton, Tommy Lee-Pamela Anderson sex tape generation, Myspace pages. The shame and stigma aren't there for them. They're mostly worried about what their parents are going to think, because their parents think it's horrifying."

Well crap the mellow one hurried up and edited her post now I have to rerespond. Hey MD I know you believe your several week presence on the forum has everyone in awe of your superior intellect along with your "Partner"??? getting a big chuckle out of the forum but I gotta tell despite all that you dont tell anyone to "get the hell out" that would be the job of Steve Myers. Try going to him and whining your complaints in the meantime does the phrase" Go reproduce yourself" hold any meaning for you.  |
