Missouri football faces a postseason ban next season, while its baseball and softball programs are barred from postseason competition this spring after the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced a range of penalties Thursday morning.

MU and the NCAA have been investigating allegations of academic misconduct since tutor Yolanda Kumar announced her role in completing coursework for students in a private Facebook post in November 2016.

Mizzou announced that it was being investigated around the same time.

The Committee on Infractions has determined that “the tutor completed academic work on behalf of 12 Missouri student-athletes,” according to a report released on the NCAA’s website at 11 a.m. local time.

Three Tigers athletic programs now face sanctions from the NCAA:

The entire Mizzou athletic department faces three years of probation.

Kumar, though not named in the report, received a 10-year show-cause order, preventing any NCAA member school from allowing her to work with its athletic department during that time.

The Tigers’ baseball and softball programs cannot participate in the postseason during the 2018-19 season, while the football program isn’t eligible for a bowl during the 2019-20 season. All three programs also are banned from postseason conference tournament participation.
Any games in which the 12 student-athletes in question participated after becoming ineligible must be vacated. MU must provide a written report to NCAA staff within 45 days.

The football, baseball and softball programs have been hit with a 5-percent scholarship reduction and also face various recruiting restrictions.

Mizzou, which self-imposed its disassociation from Kumar, also must pay a fine in the amount of $5,000 plus 1 percent of the football, baseball and softball budgets.
Among the recruiting restrictions for 2019-20, football, baseball and softball face a seven-week ban on unofficial visits, a 12.5-percent reduction in official visits, a seven-week ban on recruiting communications, a seven-week ban on all off-campus contacts/evaluation and a 12.5-percent reduction in recruiters allow to make visits on evaluation days.

The tutor acted on her own per an independent investigation. The NCAA selectively enforces rules, yet again.

Eh, we never win our bowl games anyway. Don't care.

Without even clicking this thread, knew it would contain 3 things:

1. Mizzou not really guilty. **** NCAA.

2. Who cares? We (Mizzou) weren’t gonna do anything anyways.

3. Passive aggressive comments from KU fans, who are a little on edge, due to their basketball team losing a lot of games lately.


Glad to see I wasn’t disappointed. CP always comes through . . . .

The tutor said 'it just hit' her one day when she was trying to help a student who couldn't figure out an addition problem that her eighth grader would have known.

We're #1!!!

Losing a lot of basketball games????

I'm not even a Mizzou fan but the whole thing is just dumb.

Basically they punished Mizzou for cooperating, way to tell schools to cover it up.

[Sure-Oz]

**** the NCAA.

@daniel_m_jones: As many have already stated, the conclusion from the conference call seems to be that #Mizzou's self-reporting and cooperation with the NCAA in its investigation resulted in stiffer penalties than if it would have stood its ground and fought the case from the beginning.

@Dave_Matter: NCAA COI is essentially saying that Mizzou is being penalized for being cooperative.

Can't make this shit up.

@NicoleAuerbach: On the NCAA/Mizzou call with David Roberts, the chief hearing officer for the panel, I asked if schools are now being encouraged not to cooperate or tell the truth. Roberts replied: "You can certainly make that argument."

Mizzouche: one of the few schools that cheats, yet still sucks

NCAA is a ****ing joke and that has been well known for quite a few years now. NCAA needs to go away and something not as reeruned and lacking complete common sense needs to take its place FFS
