One thing I wanted to mention about these guys' stories for who hadn't heard about it before, is that this happened in 2008. So not eons ago. But not recently either. Here's some background on the story.

College Wrestlers Pinned for Gay Porn Pics
Nebraska athletes, paid for poses, kicked off team; NCAA eligibility questioned.

Aug. 13, 2008— -- Two college athletes gifted with chiseled physiques befitting the cut-weight culture of their sport were kicked off Nebraska's elite wrestling team after nude photos of them appeared on a gay porn Web site.

Paul Donahoe, the 2007 national champion in the 125-pound wrestling class, and Kenny Jordan, who wrestled for the Cornhuskers at 133 pounds, received undisclosed compensations from the site fratmentv.com for pictures that showed each of the athletes naked and in various states of sexual arousal.

"Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan have been permanently dismissed from our wrestling program," Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning said in a statement released Tuesday. "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."

Manning, who did not return a phone call from ABCNews.com seeking additional comment, apologized in his statement for "any embarrassment" that might have been caused for the university's athletic department. He also didn't elaborate on the part of his statement that referred to the "history of behavior of these men."

Voice mail messages left by ABCNews.com for Donahoe and Jordan were not returned.

According to the Nebraska student-athlete handbook, Cornhusker athletes are required to "Always present a positive image; don't do anything to embarrass yourself, the team, your family or the University."

For now, it remains unclear whether Donahoe and Jordan would be eligible to wrestle under NCAA policies. The organizing body for college athletics would not comment on the specifics of the case but sent ABCNews.com an NCAA bylaw that could apply. Student-athletes can lose eligibility if they receive payment for the use of their photograph to "advertise, recommend or promote directly the sale or use of a commercial product or service."

Fratmentv.com owner John Marsh told ABCNews.com that the images of Donahoe and Jordan have been pulled from his Web site. The Scarlet Project, a blog devoted to reporting scandals at the University of Nebraska, apparently brought the issue to the university's attention after posting an item, complete with a sampling of the photos, on its Web site Aug. 9. The photos of the wrestlers have been pulled from that site as well, but have since been posted on other pornography and gay-themed Web sites.

Marsh said that both wrestlers have expressed their desire to wrestle collegiately again. "We don't want to mess with the NCAA," Marsh said, "and we're horrified that their eligibility is even questioned."

He is also horrified that their names, which were replaced with aliases on the gay Web site, have been circulated internationally. A membership to his Web site costs $24.95 a month.

Marsh contends that their NCAA eligibility should not be stripped because the two athletes, whom he described as models, were paid for photo spreads that appeared on his Web site, not photos promoting his product. "I think these guys are going to be eligible, and I think another school is going to love to have them," he said.

Donahoe and Jordan, Marsh said, are humiliated that family and friends have been exposed to the scandal and that their names are being associated with the gay site. "Virtually all of the guys we shoot are straight, including Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Jordan," Marsh said. "The reason they call it gay porn is because the primary audience is gay men."

Marsh would not reveal how much each of the athletes was paid for the poses or whether the pair approached him or he found them. Marsh did say that he has never explicitly gone looking for models on university athletic rosters.

Marsh said the controversy involving the wrestlers underscores a generational gap in the way naked photographs are perceived. "The younger generations, the X-Gen, the Y-Gen, millenials, they don't have a stigma about it," he said. "This is the MySpace generation."

But he also acknowledged the consequences that come with selling, or simply posting, nude or pornographic photos online -- consequences sometimes lost until it's too late.

"They would have never done this stuff if they would have believed this would happen," Marsh said.

Nebraska Wrestlers Dismissed For Posing Nude Online Might Not Go Quietly

AUGUST 22, 2008 / 7:18 AM / UWIRE.COM

This story was written by Jonathan Crowl, Daily Nebraskan


At least one of the two athletes recently dismissed from the Nebraska wrestling program is planning to take legal action against the university. An expert onFirst Amendment rights believes both men may have a legitimate legal case.

Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordanwere dismissed from the teamlast week after posing nude for a gay pornographic Web site, Fratmen.tv.


University of Nebraska-Lincolnofficials have not pointed to any particular bylaw the athletes violated.

However, Fratmen.tv owner John Marsh, who paid the two wrestlers, said the NCAA rule in question prohibits athletes from using their photos for commercial use. Athletes are ineligible for competition if they accept compensation.

The NCAA has not yet determined whether a violation actually took place.

John Zelezny, a California communications lawyer and author of textbooks covering First Amendment law, said the dismissal of both athletes may constitute an infringement of their First Amendment rights.

Zelezny said it's not enough to have a rule in print; athletes have to be able to interpret the rule and understand its application.

"We are talking about expressive activity," Zelezny said. "The only way you could curtail that would be with rules that are known from the outset or voluntarily adopted by these athletes as they move forward in this sport."

Under the pseudonyms "Nash" and "Cal", Donahoe and Jordan appearednude, separately,and shot solo masturbation videos.

Zelezny cited the precedent set by similar instances in sports programs not receiving public money. In those cases, he said, the organizations were within their legal boundaries in dismissing those athletes.

"Here it's different because you have, essentially, the state stepping in to take punitive action, and that is your typical First Amendment scenario," he said.

Fighting back

Cal State Fullerton student-athlete Leilani Rios found herself in a situation similar to the wrestlers' in 2001. The hurdler who worked at a strip club threatened the university with a federal lawsuit after officials dismissed her from the athletic program. Her head coach said her employment "portrayed CSUF athletics in a bad light." Rios' attorney argued the university violated her right to freedom of expression, and the school quickly reinstated her.

Zelezny said UNL would have a difficult time enforcing moral conduct if the student-athletes did not have a clear understanding of what they could or could not do.

Nebraska's only official remarks regarding the dismissals came Aug. 12 in written statement from wrestling coach Mark Manning.

"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," Manning said in the statement, referring to previous run-ins with the law. "We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals."

Nebraska's Sports Information Office didn't provide a specific rule in the Student-Athlete Handbook that was used in the decision to dismiss Donahoe and Jordan. Sports Information Director Keith Mann only pointed to the student-athlete code of conduct, which covers topics such as alcohol abuse, proper dress attire and acquaintance rape.

Two phone messages left for the NCAA were not returned. Messages left for Gary Bargen and Josh White, NU associate athletic directors in charge of compliance, and an e-mail to White also were not returned.

Fratmen.tv's Marsh has been working to maintain the NCAA eligibility of Donahoe and Jordan since Manning firt contacted him on Aug. 7.

"As I understand it, Nebraska really is using other criteria for their dismissal from the team," Marsh said. "It's the team's policy and not the NCAA policy. The NCAA policy is a side issue. I haven't seen any of the team rules.


"I would maintain that this really isn't a violation of [the bylaw's] intent because we never said 'Look, this is Paul Donahoe, NCAA Champion.' The fantasy is the character."

The next step

Marsh said he thought that Donahoe and Jordan may need to seek legal counsel.

Jordan seems to be a step ahead. In a message sent Tuesday through the social networking Web site Facebook.com, the former wrestler told the Daily Nebraskan " ... what we did was legal. So when i settle down I want to take some (legal) action."

Previously, Jordan had told the Daily Nebraskan that he "messed up."

"I made a bad decision and I got in trouble," Jordan said. "My punishment is definitely fair."

Marsh said Jordan's original statement was likely a shock reaction and an attempt to handle any disappointment or anger his parents may have had.

Jordan and Donahoe will have to wait for an official ruling from the NCAA to determine if they actually violated an NCAA bylaw, and what, if anything, they would need to do to restore their eligibility.

Although Marsh was not aware Donahoe and Jordan were NCAA athletes when they were hired, he is confident both athletes have complied with NCAA bylaws.

NCAA rules

Much of the concern Marsh said he is seeing from the university and the NCAA is the NCAA bylaw 12.4.1, which states that "compensation may not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of the publicity, reputation, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability."

Marsh declined to give specific wages paid to Donahoe and Jordan, but said they were "the going rate" for pornography models and "consistent with what we pay all our models." Marsh said he could supply proof of their incomes to the NCAA if requested.

The concern is that the pictures were taken for commercial use, which may be an NCAA violation.

But the NCAA will have to determine whether the pictures are of two NCAA wrestlers or two amateur pornography models.


If they appeared as NCAA wrestlers, they'd be in violation of the bylaw. If they appeared as amateur models, they would likely retain eligibility.

Donahoe's and Jordan's characters Nash and Cal are among 15 models featured on the homepage of Fratmen.tv -- which charges $24.95 for monthly access -- but the wrestlers' faces are hidden and it is unclear whether the torsos depicted are theirs. Links to their profile pages have been disabled and all media has been removed from the Web site.

Marsh said the use of their photos is a technical violation but not a violation of the spirit of the bylaw, which is intended to prevent college athletes from profiting off endorsement deals.

"It's akin to someone working at Hooter's and their using her picture on a bulletin board or on a flyer," Marsh said.

Looking to the future

Nebraska is in the process of submitting a report to the NCAA concerning Donahoe and Jordan's involvement with Fratmen.tv. Associate athletic directors White and Bargen have been in contact with both the wrestlers, the NCAA and Marsh.

Marsh said White e-mailed him a case report from 2006 in which a student-athlete at another school was given the opportunity to regain amateur status in exchange for paying all money earned plus the cost of travel expenses to a charity of his/her choie. Marsh said White suggested this was the solution Nebraska would seek.

Marsh said the proposal was unfair to Donahoe and Jordan.

"We paid them for the modeling work that should be allowed," Marsh said. "To ask that the guys should pay back all that money and lodging and expenses is really draconian and not proportionate to the this circumstance."

Both wrestlers are intent on wrestling this season, Marsh said. Donahoe had been hoping his situation could be rectified with Nebraska, so he could rejoin the team rather than deal with the problems of transferring programs as a senior.

But after his recent discussions with White and Bargen, including a phone conversation with Bargen on Tuesday afternoon, Marsh concluded that the scenario was unlikely.

Donahoe and Jordan both returned to their respective homes in Michigan and Illinois, weighing opportunities at other schools and waiting to see how the NCAA investigation turned out, Marsh said. On Tuesday, Bargen called Jordan and asked him to return to Nebraska and "sign some papers", Marsh said, adding that Jordan was working to get his transcripts released to send them other schools. Jordan, who has two years of eligibility remaining, placed fourth at the 2008 Big 12 championships at 133 pounds.

Jordan and Donahoe didn't answer phone calls from the Daily Nebraskan. Donahoe declined to respond to a message sent through Facebook.

Donahoe, the 2007 national champion at 125 pounds, had chosen a school to transfer to Wednesday, while Jordan had received interest from "three or four" schools, Marsh said. Both athletes will have to wait for a NCAA ruling to determine what their eligibility might be.

Wrestler in porn scandal unbeaten at new school

By Jim Buzinski Feb 9, 2009, 9:15pm PST


One of the two wrestlers kicked off the University of Nebraska wrestling team after appearing naked on a gay porn site last year has rebounded nicely at his new school.

Paul Donahoe transferred to Edinboro College in northwestern Pennsylvania, a wrestling powerhouse, and he is currently unbeaten (27-0 following his Feb. 14 victory) and the top-ranked 125-pounder in the country. Donahoe won the national title at 125 pounds in 2007 at Nebraska, is 113-18 in his collegiate career and he has helped Edinboro to a current Top 12 national team ranking.

Donahoe and fellow Nebraska wrestler Kenny Jordan made the news last August after it was revealed that they appeared on the porn website Fratmen.tv. The athletes were shown solo "undressing, showering and masturbating." Fratmen bills its models as "college jocks and naked straight men." The wrestlers appeared under the names Nash (Donahoe) and Cal (Jordan); they were paid an undisclosed amount for their work. A week after the news surfaced on a University of Nebraska gossip site, they were kicked off the Nebraska team.

When Donahoe enrolled at Edinboro (nicknamed the "Fighting Scots") last August, he said he had two goals:

"I want to become the first two-time NCAA champ from two different schools. And I want to help the team get a trophy."

While not answering questions at the time about the Fratmen incident, Donahoe was grateful to Edinboro, saying, "I'm just really thankful they have given me this opportunity to come here and finish my career." The school's athletic director, Bruce Baumgartner, a former Olympic wrestler, defended his decision to enroll Donahoe, saying, "I'm sure we'll get some (criticism). People make mistakes all the time, and I think he deserves a second chance."

While Donahoe has been able to resume his career, I have been unable to find anything about what has happened to Jordan (one commenter below says he transferred to Purdue but is not wrestling). In the aftermath of the Fratmen incident, both wrestlers said they wanted to be reinstated to wrestle again.

I am glad that Donahoe landed on his feet. In my ranking of crimes against humanity, posing nude (especially when you look like Donahoe) falls well below the NFL's overtime rule, any kind of meat on a pizza, people who don't use their turn signal and dog owners who don't clean up after their pooch takes a dump on my flag football field.
