re: NCAA Committee on Infractions

I honestly don’t think the appeal will be successful. We admitted to level 1 violations. These are the penalties. Now, who knows with the NCAA but it seems pretty cut and dry.

In reality, we fricked this up. Should have lawyered up from the start. Not cooperated with anything, and made no comments or handed over any documentation to the NCAA whatsoever.

Another case where we simply can’t get out of our own way.

This is what has ALWAYS frustrated me the most with Mizzou. We refuse to "play the game" the way most schools do. We always play everything by the book and follow all the rules, and where does that get us? Even in the instance "we" don't follow the rules, we immediately sacrifice ourselves by committing virtual seppuku (cooperating with the NCAA).

Mizzou has absolutely ZERO "street smarts" when it comes to anything.
