The Missouri baseball and softball programs received good news from the NCAA: Their postseason bans will not carry over to the 2021 season, MU announced Monday.
Both programs faced postseason bans for the 2020 season as part of Mizzou’s sanctions for the academic misconduct case involving former athletics tutor Yolanda Kumar, but when the coronavirus pandemic shut down all spring seasons across college sports the status of the postseason bans was uncertain.
Last November, the exact language of the NCAA’s Infractions Appeals Committee report stated that the two teams must serve postseason bans specifically for the 2020 season — not the first available postseason.
