NCAA Upholds Postseason Ban, Sanctions for Mizzou Athletics

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

The NCAA announced Tuesday it would uphold a postseason ban and all related sanctions levied against the University of Missouri football, baseball and softball teams, which includes a bowl ban for the Tigers.

Mizzou came under investigation after academic misconduct violations originating from a former athletics tutor who helped student-athletes cheat their way through classes. The NCAA dropped the hammer on the university in January, handing down postseason bans for all three teams, a 5% scholarship reduction, recruiting restrictions, a fine of $5,000-plus-1% of the budget from each sport.
