USA Gymnastics said Friday that it will comply with U.S. Olympic Committee order that calls for the board to resign after the Larry Nassar scandal.

USOC CEO Scott Blackmun outlined that as part of the conditions for USA Gymnastics to maintain its status as the sport's national governing body. He gave the board six days to carry it out in an email sent Thursday to the board.
