Serious Questions RE: Mizzou

If it does, we can only field for Ironman ball. And we will get out arse firmly trounced.

It's more likely that we won't be able to field a team for the Tenn. game. Unless this fricking Butler guy dies quick.

I don't know the answer to these questions, but the fact that they even have to be asked means Mizzou should be booted from the SEC, immediately. Not even UT has ever embarrassed us this badly.

Yea, I feel like nobody has really started asking football related questions about this because it was be "inconsiderate" or "insensitive" or "not paying attention to what really matters" or whatever, but I'm fascinated by that part of it.

Seriously, is Missouri just going to have to forfeit the rest of their games?

Gotta say, this will be interesting going forward, because what this does show is if you get a majority of players to strike for something..........some really rich people and schools are going to start sweating their asses off.

Serious discussion only, you vegan motherfricker, eat a brick

I expect he is sneaking oreo's when nobody's looking but at least there is "some hope".

what other financial ramifications would Mizzou be looking at?

I'd assume there is some obligation to the SECN for providing games but I don't know exactly how that would work.

1. Corporate sponsors. They have case for damages most likely. At the minimum they will bail and pull out of future support, stop sending payments, etc.

2. Local businesses. Can vote with various means of support the university has counted on. Also they can pack up and move or whatever. Less goods and services means less attraction for people to attend.

3. Lack of credibility. The value of a degree from that university is taking a major hit. If any shenanigans are discovered like the swastika is fake or whatever, that university is going to suffer in public opinion for a decade or longer.

4. SEC could elect to withhold funds distribution or worse, just boot them from the conference. I have a feeling that if the SEC does not take action soon, they will be forced to later. TV networks won't cover a program like this because they will suck so bad and sponsors won't pay for commercial time.

SEC supports Mizzou while they work this out in house.

No. No way. Never. Nunca. Nadia. Nyet. The other 13 institutions are not going to be punished because a bunch one guy is on a hunger strike and a collection of football players and coaches refuse to go to work because of it.

If Mizz was traveling to Arky this weekend and couldn't field a team and your local business depended on that surge of income, or Arky depended on gate revenue, concessions, and so forth - tell me how much support you'd have.

Beyond football, I want to see if white high school seniors see what's going on at Mizzou and say "frick that, I'm going to Purdue."

I can tell you with absolute certainty that if my kid were planning to go to Mizzou, I wouldn't be picking up the tab for that shite show.
