NCAA rules that Missouri baseball and softball bans will not carry over to 2021 season

It was announced Monday that the NCAA will not carry the Missouri baseball and softball teams’ postseason bans over to the 2021 season.

The NCAA found that the Missouri football, baseball and softball teams were guilty of academic misconduct in January 2019 after they found out that former tutor Yolanda Kumar completed coursework for 12 student-athletes.

While none of the 12 was still at Missouri last January, the NCAA still gave all three teams postseason bans and other penalties like the loss of scholarships and recruiting restrictions.

In March 2019, Missouri officially appealed the NCAA’s decision hoping it would be overturned.
