re: SI: SEC teams to use Sam as a recruiting negative

Actually the negative recruiting aspect wasn't don't go there because he's gay but rather why did Mizzou hide it:

"It's a powder keg just waiting to explode," the assistant said.

The assistant predicts that opposing coaches will pose a number of questions. "Why did [Missouri] cover this up?" the assistant said. "What else are they hiding? What were they trying to do? Keep a secret society?"

He added: "I can see it getting really ugly."

An odd way to approach it but then again those who are going to negative recruit probably aren't going to be so blunt as to say something like Mizzzou had a gay player which is a big whoop dee doo as far as a negative tactic goes.
