NCAA announces penalties, including football bowl ban, for Mizzou’s academic fraud
M-I-Z!
https://www.kshb.com/sports/ncaa-ann...-fraud-scandal 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 real question us...does MU have the stones to take on the NCAA in court and point out the obvious double standard they have for punishment or will they just roll over and whimper like a whipped puppy?

This is what it really comes down to. Mizzou needs to be ready to take this one all the way. Go to the papers. Go on all the national syndication shows. Take on the NCAA with a full frontal assault. Get it into federal court if need be. Pull no punches. No matter what the cost . . . . . I’d be overjoyed if anyone did it, but it would be glorious if Mizzou can be the one who finally attempts to take down the NCAA and call them out on all their bullshit. M I Z |

As a largely impartial observer (I root for a Big 10 team from Iowa), this appears to be injustice to the highest degree.
They got punished WORSE for self-reporting? There's nothing that seems "right" about that, logically or ethically. I hope Mizzou fights this for the sake of all the "unimportant" programs (like the one I root for). |

Mizzou's Chancellor/President... whoever their Chief Operating Officer is needs to aggressively push back against the NCAA, similar to what then University of Miami President, Donna Shalala did during the Nevin Shapiro scandal.

Agree. They can't be this powerless. Well, beyond what I suspect will be a rather useless appeal..

I seriously doubt there's a big enough sac anywhere in CoMo to take the NCAA to task.

The Tutor lady is sure taking in to her Twitter feed. Mizzou has to tread lightly with this one. Race/Gender/Religion issues all wrapped up in TutorGate.

She cheated? It seems she was a tutor and she did what the athletes or athletic department wanted. She is a shitty one for sure but no more than the students who had her take their test. But in the end no one will go after her because of her faith.
