NCAA lowers boom on Mizzou

[swingline]

Football, baseball and softball hit with penalties, including recruiting restrictions for football, in academic fraud case. With the football penalties, that's going to make Barry Odom's job that much harder — and it's hard enough at Mizzou as it is.

Always and forever, ****ing Mizzou. Dave Matter with the details.

NCAA hammers Mizzou on academic fraud case, including postseason ban on football

Missouri will appeal, the sports media will support that appeal, and almost all of the penalties will be overturned when the NCAA gets major blowback.

The KC Star's Sam Mellinger: "This is jail time for a traffic violation, and if this is the outcome, why should schools cooperate with NCAA investigations in the future?"

Mizzou has officially become the SEC's Cleveland State...there's really no other explanation.

Missouri cooperated because it had no real choice. The tutor admitted to Missouri what she did, then later threatened to tell all on Twitter. There wasn't any kind of witness grooming Missouri was going to be able to do.

People can read this story and get a gist of what was going on:

North Carolina didn’t cooperate and got ... nothing.

How's that transfer working out for Kelly Bryant?

Reports I've heard say he's staying at Mizzou.

If a student-nonathlete does this, there’s a good chance he or she gets expelled from the university for academic fraud.

**** Mizzou. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.

Same, 2much.

I get that the penalties seem unfair when measured up against the North Carolina case.

But a tutor did work and took tests for student-athletes in multiple sports. No amount of "we didn't know" and cooperation by Mizzou changes the fact that's wrong and should be punished.

Mizzou officials may not have known - but I'm at least a little skeptical of that - but the student-athletes involved knew, and knew it was wrong. If the Mizzou Mafia and all the "woe is me" people around Columbia want to be pissed, blame them.

KU probably not too smug today after the De Sousa ruling.

Chapel Hill spent $21 million on attorneys and other such stuff, including attempting to openly discredit the NCAA. The NCAA claimed to have found nothing.

Mizzou gets hammered.

Stay classy, NCAA. And go to class, Chapel Hill.

Good.
**** the school, and **** college athletics.

Not so sure about that as a blanket statement.

In terms of the corruption and stuff we see? Sure.

In terms of the number of kids who get swimming, cross country and tennis scholarships and trade their athletic skills for an education? By eradicating the NCAA, those go away, too. Which would suck.

The model at the top is broken. But how does it get fixed without affecting the massive majority of pretty good the system does?

let them cheat, for football and basketball, its just a TV show for most Americans and a rooting sporting interest for alumni and communities. 99% of the kids playing basketball and football will never play professionally and most, the large majority use the education and connections for an opportunity at a productive adulthood. The ones who get a chance at a scholarship and blow it are doing the same thing and 100's of thousands non athletes do as well.
So let capliari and Kryzyweski and Boeheim and Pitino and Izzo and everyone of the D1 cheaters have their cake. Earning 100's of millions exploiting the children and their well meaning but ignorant parents.

Time for March Madness and Time to go Bowling

The NCAA and schools have done little to fix the broken model except when they’ve been dragged kicking and screaming by the courts.
