This commission being thrown together is a huge red flag for Mizzou..I don't know why they hate spending money you have to spend in this league or your dust

i dont disagree with you but I think there are few reasons:

1) our AD revenue is insane and they still required a loan from the University
2) We have a basketball coach running a team that is likely to go 0-18 in SEC play and has a $25million buyout. How does that happen?
3) The amount of money donated for facility upgrades probably needs oversight if....

If...if you dont trust your AD but you dont want to fire them, this is what you get. The whole purview for this committee is everything that should fall under the AD. The school is cutting DRF off at the knees and I'm not sure why but I'm guessing the above is part of it.

Another example of Missouri just being missouri.

It’s a state of Missouri thing. It’s cultural. I mean look at the DeWitts and the Royals ownership for examples.

1. The NIL law Missouri passed and $62 million donation was great and it made everyone happy. When they found out the AD took a loan it probably scared the donor and the state. DRF was definitely asked to leave.

2. The donor said the donation was a no go if DRF was there and they new the ADO would push her out

In any scenario her beef with Drink didn’t help.

It maybe hard to find a really good AD with the ADO

Who in their right fricking mind would EVER consider an AD position at Mizzou. We’ve found yet another way to frick ourselves. I thought we had exhausted all avenues, but never count out MU creativity! We WILL find a way!

Neither the Donor, nor any other booster had anything to do with this. It's all internal.

I don't have a side in this, but why is the assumption that DRF can't be at fault?
No matter who had been hired as AD when she came in, they would have benefitted from NIL allowing Mizzou to become more competitive. I'm not giving her any credit for something any warm body would have done.

Hey, I’m not saying she was the second coming or anything, but the apple cart seemed to be planted firmly on solid ground. I can’t see how this event at this time is a good thing and won’t affect momentum.

They had them and instead ran them off.

Other than the budget issues.

Yeah, she didn't fire near enough AFAIC. Unfortunately I'm not sure the replacements were much of an improvement.
