To refresh your memory, Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan were kicked off the Husker wrestling team last year because they appeared naked on a gay porn website called Fratmen.tv. Both men say it's not fair—not because of the whole gay thing, but because everyone on the team (including themselves) are guilty of far worse crimes that no one has ever been punished for. But Nebraska couldn't cover up naked internet photos, so these two guys had to go.

And go, they did. Donahoe transferred to Edinboro College and Jordan went to Purdue. However, while Donahoe made his way to the NCAA finals this season, Jordan had to sit out a year and is still waiting to see if Purdue will actually give him a scholarship. Why the different treatment? Some say Donahoe was given permission to transfer worry-free, because he won a National Championship for the Huskers and was head coach Mark Manning's favorite son. Others say it was because Donahoe blackmailed the athletic department, threatening to expose numerous instances of wrongdoing unless they gave him an unconditional release. And by "others," we mean that it was Donahoe who said that himself.

But when ESPN did a follow up interview seven weeks later, to find out more about this alleged wrongdoing, suddenly he didn't remember ever saying that! How convenient. He also said he was going to return to Fratmen.tv, but has yet to keep his promise. (I guess he really likes jerking people around.) However, Jordan did confess that athletes gambled large sums of money on poker games—playing against their coaches—and two other members of the team got into a bone-crunching fight after getting drunk at Manning's wedding. (They were underage, too.) Nearly one-third of the program's athletes in the last two years have been charged with a crime and a former Husker football player says it's better to commit a crime in Lincoln than a NCAA violation, because the school isn't concerned with enforcing actual laws.

It isn't really fair for Nebraska to kick two people off the team for doing something that isn't at all illegal, but after watching his interviews it is kind of hard to feel sorry for Donahoe. He really just seems like a cocky little prick—although that isn't why he's so popular over at Fleshbot, wink, wink (NSFW, duh)—who is ticked off that for the first time in his precious life, he wasn't allowed to get away with something. Both Donahoe and Jordan had plenty of legal troubles while in Lincoln and probably should have been kicked off the team long before they were given the official boot. Gay porn was certainly the least of their crimes.

Jordan, who is no saint himself, was treated much less fairly, but at least he has a good perspective on things. "We did some porn. Get over it," he says. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that one....

Wrestler Paul Donahoe's nude photos cost him a college career at Nebraska [Outside The Lines]

Paul Donahoe was kicked off the Cornhuskers grappling squad last year after he and teammate Kenny Jordan were discovered just as God made them on the naughty picture site Fratmen.tv. Donahoe left Lincoln and enrolled at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania, which is Division II in all other sports, but is somehow Division I in wrestling.

His record this season? 24-0

Donahoe is the top-ranked 125-pounder in the country and he hopes to become the first wrestler to win an individual NCAA title for two different schools. (He won his weight class in 2007.) The team is coached by former Olympian Bruce Baumgartner, who felt Donahoe deserved a second chance. Apparently, he came to the ground-breaking conclusion that taking your clothes off for the sexual delight of others is only slightly more scandalous than rolling around on a mat with other muscle-bound dudes as leering onlookers shout their lusty approval.

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.

"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."

Assuming they transfer to another school, both men would have to sit out a year before they could continue their wrestling careers. Of course there also may be an NCAA investigation into these pictures since NCAA athletes are not allowed to be paid for their images. So there's a real question whether either man will be permitted to wrestle in NCAA-sponsored matches again.

Marsh, for one, thinks Nebraska's response is indicative of a generational divide .

"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," Marsh said. "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."

If that's the case, shudder, we may be in for many more of these scandals in the near future.
