I hope someone tells her that she's the ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.

I don’t disagree with the whole “making a positive impact for student athletes” thing they’re trying to do, but it is much better suited for lower levels of competition. We are literally in the most competitive league at the collegiate level and if your top priority isn’t winning games, you are wasting everyone’s time.

I can’t imagine the SEC is thrilled with a member school not interested in fielding competitive teams, that doesn’t also provide the private school protection and academic prowess that a school like Vanderbilt does. Outside of TV revenue, Mizzou is currently just dead weight.
