Well shit, after all that time they spent in Oxford they had to punish someone. Might as well been the worst team in the conference. ******

Also note, this investigation also started after UNM, in 2014.

The infractions:

"One donor was found responsible for running a sham internship program in which three Mizzou basketball players and one prospective player received housing, iPads, cash, meals, transportation and access to a local gym in exchange for work that was never performed. That was classified as a Level I NCAA violation — the most serious.

Another donor offered recreational boat rides and a special rate at a local hotel to 11 basketball players and three members of one player's family from 2011 to 2014. This scenario the NCAA considered to be a Level II violation — less serious than a Level I, but still considered "major."

A "failure to adequately monitor" penalty — a Level II violation — was also assessed due to Missouri's failure to investigate the validity of the summer internship program.

Missouri was also found to have committed two Level III violations for interactions with a potential student-athlete, including one former associate head coach who impermissibly provided a donor with the phone number of a prospect's mother to help her acquire a rental property."

I hear LSU has the best off-shore fishing trips in the conference.

They got some nice shiny brand new dentures that they are just waiting to bite down on some bear steak.

Seems like the NCAA has gone to Spring training to get in shape, stretch the old arm, & fine tuning their skills before real test.
