FILE - John Roethlisberger, of Falcon Heights, Minn., hugs his dad Fred after his final event in the men's 2000 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials in Boston, in this Saturday, Aug. 19, 2000, file photo. Roethlisberger was chosen for the U.S. Olympic team. The cutback in NCAA athletic programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic is being felt acutely in men's gymnastics. For decades Division I programs have produced an overwhelming majority of the US Olympic team. The number of Division I programs, however, is shrinking. The University of Minnesota and the University of Iowa will stop offering it as a scholarship sport at the end of the month. That will drop the number of Division I schools to 11.
