Kansas knowingly cheated in their win over Missouri. Jayhawks had an ineligible player. Tigers were #1 going into that game and had they won, they were well on their way to the 1960 AP/UPI national title. Missouri was later given a win therefore having an 11-0-0 1960 season. Missouri deserved the national title over Ole Miss and Minnesota.

Some highlights:
quote:
In the fall of 1959, after having played his freshman year at TCU, Coan transferred to KU under questionable circumstances. TCU head coach Dutch Meyer was irate and declared, “I definitely feel someone has tampered with the boy and I don’t mind saying so.” [3] TCU announced it would press for an NCAA investigation of the matter and punishment of KU for the transfer.[4] Meyer succeeded in getting the NCAA to look into Coan’s transfer, but NCAA investigations apparently weren’t any faster in those days than they are today.
quote:
If KU was going to play Coan, it would have to reject the NCAA finding or disregard conference rules.
KU rejected the NCAA finding. Coan stated that he had not been recruited to KU during the trip.
Reminds you of kU's middle finger to the NCAA in basketball recently.
quote:
Missouri was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the both the AP and UP polls. If the Tigers could beat the Jayhawks in the regular season finale, they would not only win the conference championship, but would almost certainly also claim the national championship. (In those days, the final poll was released before the bowl games.)
quote:
After the game, Devine tipped his hat to the Jayhawker squad. “Kansas just out-classed us. They played a terrific ballgame. Those backs were as fine as anything we have seen all year. Coan probably hurt us more than anyone.” [20] In fact, Coan both out-scored and out-rushed the Tigers (67 yards for Coan to 61 for MU). Sportswriters across the country voted Coan national back-of-the-week for his performance.[21] In the final AP poll, MU fell to No. 5.
quote:
KU’s official account of the affair admits that after the meeting opened with testimony from some of the principles in the controversy, “The faculty representatives then voted 6-2 that the question of Coan’s eligibility would be settled by the vote of a simple majority, 5-3, as had been the case in some other decisions by the conference in the past (emphasis added).” [24], [25]
Following the opening vote on procedure, the committee voted 5-3 that KU was in violation of the ban on off-campus recruiting, thus concurring with the mid-season NCAA finding. By a corollary conference rule, this determination automatically rendered Coan ineligible.
quote:
The MU defense fared much better against Joe Bellini, Navy’s Heisman Trophy winner, than they had against Coan, holding Bellini to only 4 yards rushing, and MU beat Navy 21-14. MU fans took pride in the Orange Bowl victory, but even the luster of that Orange Bowl win did not totally soothe the sting of falling to the arch-rival in a regular season finale with the No. 1 ranking on the line, and the national title up for grabs. (In light of what happened at the end of the 2007 season, MU fans can now actually take some solace in that.)
Years later, Bert Coan had the courage to admit the truth in the affair. “I guess it’s safe to say now, but I was illegally recruited off the TCU campus.” Regarding Bud Adams and the trip to Chicago, Coan says, “I had no idea he was going to talk about Kansas the entire time.” [33] It turns out that TCU head coach Dutch Meyer, the NCAA, and the Big Eight had gotten it right. Coan had indeed been tampered with in violation of NCAA and Big Eight rules. Coan’s admission has not changed KU’s position; they continue to claim the victory.

Yeah good times. Too bad we allowed some slug from Moo State to start his AD career with us on 3rd base and essentially being the entire department down.

Cute of y'all trying to make an inroad to this league. You belong even less than we did when we joined.
Kick rocks
Funny, most on this board would disagree, NOBODY thinks Mizzou should be in the SEC, and you know it. Most of the time they forget you are in the conference.
