How much you want to bet this change in attitude was driven by a change in the dollars coming in?

That's always a factor for every decision, but conversely the threat of losing dollars on an upcoming football game with BYU when the football players were striking is what led to Mizzou's knee jerk reaction in the first place. It's easy to nitpick in hindsight, but the fact is half the football team started striking which was rather unprecedented and at the time the school reacted to preserve that revenue flow in the short term however it could. It was messy but predictable.

Right now is the perfect time for Mizzou to go on the offensive - the interim President is a former campus civil rights leader himself so they aren't going to attack him or call for his head, and football season is over.

Hell, the only thing the men's basketball team could make threats with at this point would be to keep on playing the remainder of their 2016 season to the end rather than just stopping now and striking. That's actually really scary.
