NCAA Hammers Missouri for Academic Tutor Misconduct

The NCAA has hammered Missouri’s football, baseball and softball programs due to academic tutor misconduct.

The organization released the following list of punishments today with a straight face while fully knowing that North Carolina went unpunished for years of alleged academic fraud:

The NCAA report is out on #Mizzou. Softball and baseball banned from 2018-19 postseason. Football banned from 2019-20 postseason. Each of those programs will have a 5% reduction in scholarships for the 2019-20 year. Full penalties in the pic pic.twitter.com/oA3JCGD9sk

Here’s the release from the NCAA, which often sticks it to programs like Missouri while letting programs like North Carolina cheat without punishment:

A former University of Missouri, Columbia, tutor violated NCAA ethical conduct, academic misconduct and academic extra benefits rules when she completed academic work for 12 student-athletes, according to a Division I Committee on Infractions panel.
