AGB91 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have to admit that I love hearing the outrage of the Mizzou Fanboys on the radio. They cheated and got caught. Live with the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sterk's going to appeal this and Kelly Bryant is staying. It would be so Mizzou to upset Alabama in the SEC championship game and have nothing to show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 As in all these cases the players there today are being punished for something they had nothing to do with. Doesnt seem fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Mizzou cheated (kind of) so they get what they get. They need to be punished but this seems a little extreme. And this is just insane. From Gabe DeArmond at the presser with Dave Roberts. followed up asking if schools are now being encouraged not to cooperate or tell the truth. Roberts: "You can certainly make that argument." https://mobile.twitter.com/gabedearmond/status/1091037808800743424 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever!!! Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The thing I don’t get is why the postseason ban and recruiting limitations. It had nothing to do with recruiting. How does UNC get away with 18 years of academic fraud. Michigan St, Baylor, etc also did terrible things and nothing happened to them. A rogue tutor helped TWO football players with homework without Mizzou’s knowledge. When they found out, they fired her, suspended the player, and reported it to the NCAA. Then the NCAA comes out and says that it would have been better to lie about and say it never happened. The NCAA is incredibly corrupt. The schools that make Moreno money for them get off easy while the lesser schools take the fall. Slu let the dogs out? likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, if you pick that school you gotta know the history and that there is a decent chance there will be a problem with the NCAA during your time there. slusam likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what blows my mind. The guy from the NCAA actually admitted schools should lie. Unbelievable. What worries me when things this outrageous happen is that the power 5 football schools are going to say screw it and try to break off. The NCAA is so corrupt they are almost begging schools to create an alternative. I don’t know if this can or will happen. I’m sure there is a lot more to it but a “business” this corrupt is going to go belly up eventually. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills_06 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I didn't know where else to put this but saw this article this morning and thought it was interesting. SLU drew a 3.8 with the championship game on Sunday, beating out Cardinals spring training (2.1) and drew better than the final round of the Players Championship. Only the Blues had a better rating that day (4.1) which was played after the SLU game was over. Link CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Spoon there was an air of over achievement TF has a better foundation as recruiter with great pedigree. We played at the Arena for the Spoon bubble so his attendance records won’t be topped.

The SLU-SPUMAC game there was something like 22,000 I think. Those records can't be broken except if playing again at the Dome maybe. And there were games there too in the 20,000s.
