Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan were just moseying along with their studies at the University of Nebraska and competing (extremely well) on their wrestling team when NCAA officials found out the duo also starred in some solo porn clips for Fratmen.TV. The college athletics organization quickly banned both of them from competition, and even went so far as to erase them from history. Under the claim the young men violated rules again promoting themselves for personal gain, the NCAA generated more press about the issue than it ever hoped for. And now it’s reached the post-production hallways of ESPN, which on June 14 will air a story about them on Outside the Lines.
Says Jordan, who’s now at Purdue University: “We didn’t kill anybody. We didn’t put ’em in a hospital. We’re not selling drugs. We’re not bad kids. We’re just in porn. Get over it.”
Donahoe (pictured, below), meanwhile, reeks of naivety: “I didn’t think anyone was going to find out. So I guess, I didn’t think of that.”
Dennis
It absolutely IS unfair how porn performers are judged (until they kill someone, that is) But if you’re lookin’ at it, and then judging the brave (or sometimes narcissistic) souls who made it all happen for your entertainment, then you’re nothing but a f’ing hypocrite.
But dude, wise up, people ALWAYS “find out”…so if you don’t want your business seen, don’t whip it out on film.
Jaroslaw
Before posters get started with “but they signed a contract and should have known better…” yeah, they did. But lots of people sign contracts with morality clauses in them. They are only enforced against poor unfortunates who can’t afford high powered attorneys. More hypocrisy. (I’m tacking this onto Dennis’ post, with his permission!)
Dennis
Also, best line @ 1:02…”I’m puttin’ smiles on people’s faces”
LOVE IT!…A million times hotter than sad Davey Wavey! Oh, thank goddess for hot, kinda dumb college boys…
TANK
Kinda dumb? This kid’s as clever as a bag of hammers. And you fight the good fight, dennis. Make sure that porno performers are treated with the same dignity and respect as doctors. After all, they deserve it… because they do the really important work.
Dennis
@TANK:
Agreed Tank, he’s clever…but sorry, I’m not gonna want to watch some fat old doctor jerk off, no matter how many cases of swine flu he’s cured. So I say people should “play to their strenghts”…if someone’s got a rocking body, and no shame about it, what’s wrong with sharing your gifts?
It takes a village, dude, we’ve all got something to contribute to the collective.
Dennis
@Dennis:
he’s *not* clever…
TANK
@Dennis:
Yeah, I understood. And dude? Oy…don’t call me that, k thx bai.
Jaroslaw
I’m not sure I understand this bit about watching a fat old doctor j/o ; and my gut tells me porn work isn’t quite the same as being an accountant, doctor or physicist but as the young guy says – hey, we worked hard on our bodies, we’re proud of them, we didn’t kill anyone. Sex is something almost everyone does or thinks about no matter how high and mighty or poor and lowly. So I agree with him: get over it. I think maybe sex workers do deserve a lot more respect than they currently get.
burtsfield
How did the other guy end up at Purdue? I live in West Lafayette. While I would love to think this is Hoosier equivalent of Key West, I don’t think it is.

Might be shocking that I actually agree with Dennis. Porn stars get a very bad wrap that is totally undeserved. The way I see it, I like looking at hot men, and when its a really sweet decent guy that just so happens to be playing around on camera they don’t deserve a judgment for that. What interests me is if these guys would have gotten the same punishment if they were banging chicks on camera or if the school would have just looked the other way.
Fiki
All this crying about how he didn’t think people will find out! Did he not know he was jacking it on a WEBSITE? Does he not understand how the internet works? (it’s entirely possible he doesn’t. I’m not sure they have the internet in Nebraska.)Every American loves their porn, especially in conservative areas and yet everyone knows we live in a sexually hypocritical country. So please spare me the bit about being an innocent who didn’t understand the consequences of flashing your bits online. Just go do “Cornfed Cum Sluts” I, II, III & IV, make your money, secretly date Tom Cruise but just please stop talking.
Jaroslaw
FIKI – I totally understand his point of view that he didn’t think people would find out. If all your friends & family are “decent” how did all the Bible thumpers etc. find out?
If I was the coach, or whomever, and I got an “anonymous” report, would I not have to then go LOOK at the website?
This should have been buried and ignored. Someone had ignorant mean “fun” ruining these boys wrestling scholarships and I hope they are equally repaid or worse sometime in the future.
Miss Piggy
Donahoe has a large Nebraska tattoo, I don’t think it was that hard to find out who he was.

@Jaroslaw:
1) gay guy tells female friend
2) female friend tells 50 people
3) one of them tells guy on team
4) guy on team is uncomfortable, tells coach
5) coach asks player if it’s true, he confesses
Toby
what planet does this guy live on? How could he think nobody would find out? If you are going to post images of yourself online you need to be prepared for the consequences. You can tell by looking at the site that he worked for that it isn’t some rinky dink porn site with 10 visitors. It is obviously a money mnaking business meaning it’s successful because a lot of eyes are checking it out.
alan brickman
lots of athletes make money while they’re not supposed and accept free gifts of cars and apt rent…hypocritcal…
Prof. O. G. Whataschnozell
Kenny Jordan you sure did put a smile on my face and you are not exactly telling the truth. You made a few more and you bottomed in two of them.
Lex
Who cares?
Strippers and female porn stars go through this all the time. These two need to stop crying and get over it. You take a sleazy career path then own the consequences.
It’s no different than an employer looking up your slutty as fuck pictures on facebook or myspaces and firing you. They got a taste of the real world. Boofreakinghoo.
Joanaroo
Oy! It’s something how naive these guys were, but had they been servicing females I’m sure the good ol’ boy network would’ve said something like “they’re just red-blooded American boys!”. It’s just like a father would “hey, hey” his straight son for doing a cheerleader-but if his daughter was the cheerleader who slept with the star wrestler-she’d be condemned by Daddy.
Miss Piggy
No they wouldn’t have #19. You have zero clue about Nebraska or college athletics. Both would have been dismissed. Nebraska is a very red state and Tom Osbourne the AD at Nebraska is about as far right as you can get.
Joanaroo
OK, Miss Piggy I did make a sweeping generality about Nebraska athletics and should’ve said possibly somewhere the good-old boy network reigns, but as a follower of college sports for years there have been scandals in many schools that should’ve been settled better or in other ways. What exactly though is the Scarlet Project, what is its purpose in the University and besides this case, has it helped keep scandal to a minimum?
Jaroslaw
DGZ it is possible they told a female friend, but if he “thought no one would find out” then doesn’t it follow that he didn’t tell anyone?
Naive yes, but who knows? Is it possible he needed 2K to fix his car and did this and hoped no one would find out? I’m thinking he didn’t tell anyone. I sure wouldn’t have and hope for the best.
Jaroslaw
Toby – everything you say is true, lots of eyes checking the site etc. but the MORAL folk at Nebraska U or whoever tattle shouldn’t have been looking right? What is the point of a morals clause if someone is going to be IMMORAL and tell on you just to screw up your life? That is just plain rotten. The tattler can’t make it in life or has a bad one, so he’s going to tattle and screw up someone else? That just plain stinks.
Mrs Patrick Campbell
The first one – Miss Thing – is a real woman. The second one seems “tres butch”.
Are they a ‘couple’?
Link to action videos, please!
Nathan
Oh, good grief! What’s the big deal? Porn as a disgrace is purely a product of arbitrary Victorian and Christian morality that doesn’t do a whit of good to improve peoples’ lives. The choice to become involved in porn is a personal decision which is nobody else’s business. Those who feel in any manner discomfited by the idea or reality of porn are kindly invited to ignore it. Nobody is forcing anybody to even look at the stuff. Conversely, it’s hypocritical to insist anybody else be outraged by what these guys did. They didn’t involve anybody else, so it wasn’t even pandering. There isn’t a morals law against it. Like Jordan said, “Get over it.” Sheesh.
Jaroslaw
Netflix has a 2 disk series “the history of pornography” which oddly is very UN pornographic! but almost all civilizations until Europeans had a very much more relaxed viewpoint of sex, paintings, objets d’art in their yards etc. The educated elite in England thought in the 1700’s that too much explicit info/images about sex would “rile up the masses” so the seeds were sown for the Victorian age or even prior to really. What makes this really interesting though is these “educated” men collected erotic pictures, objects etc. and kept them for themselves even though the items were on the books as illegal to possess!!! Unbelievable. Or not. One set of justice for the rich another for the poor. Not so new after all I guess.
Mrs Patrick Campbell
Our husband – a handsome, well built 30-something Latino – has enormous uncut sizemeat with massive low-hangers!
hardmannyc
ALL college wrestlers should be doing porn. It shold be mandatory!
Totally agreed with what he said. They were doing the work of the angels.
Argon
Here’s what I find so stupid, sure they signed something saying they can’t promote themselves for personal gain but in that context of the contract it applies to promoting their wresting (think Wheaties sponsor, or advertising on their uniform).
The way they’re using this rule, they could just as easily kick someone out for attending a job interview. (oh no, they’re promoting themselves for financial gain!) Really if you think about it, it’s just like having a job outside of school. Who cares if he’s doing porn, wrestling isn’t the deciding factor for why he got the job, he had a great body which he could have gotten otherwise.
Estelle
Both of them had been in trouble before.
Most schools make you sign a code of conduct when you sign on. If you don’t agree with it that’s your choice but its also the schools choice not to sign you or dismiss you from the team. You can’t use your image for commercial purposes as long as you are a NCAA athlete whether its porn or posing for a Neiman Marcus catalog.
cruiser
what is the link to the original site?
me
where can i see his porn? wrestlers have the drooliest bodies :P”
schlukitz
I agree with Nathan. What’s the big deal? Live and let live.
One would think that we of the LGBT community who are ourselves the 24/7/365 recipients of judgement, would have learned something from our own experience. All of this moralizing. On a gay blog site, no less?
I, for one, have never been able to understand why people should object so much to something that no one is forcing them to watch or indulge in.
