re: Will Mizzou recruiting benefit or hurt from Sam announcement?

The biggest thing it did for Mizzou was put their football program and coaches and players all over mainstream media for a few days. Listen to Pinkel talk on the Mike and Mike show. That whole interview was him building up the program. Not sure it would hurt. But I dont think it helps in a sense that people will say "hey I wanna go play there because they accept gay athletes." The positive will be families will say hey look they stand with their own regardless. And all the positive attention the team has received from the media. With that being said I dont see us pulling Bama classes because of it. Just more publicity.
