If I’m a Mizzou fan I’m glad the penalties will play out this year and not affect 2020.

They got hit with scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions that go into the 2020-21 academic year as well, not just the bowl ban. It seems like an incredibly stiff penalty for what they did.

The bowl ban is just for this year, but other aspects of the penalties drag into next year.

Agree, way more harsh that necessary.

It's even crazier because according to the article, Mizzou discovered and reported the violations themselves to the NCAA. Usually when schools do that, the NCAA allows schools to self-impose penalties.

If any big school did this, they probably get slapped with some minor recruiting restrictions and everybody moves on. Even Miss St did something incredibly similar and escaped the bowl ban.

In the Mizzou case, a tutor did course work for student athletes. The NCAA did not find that anyone in the administration or coaching staff knew about this until it was discovered and it was promptly reported to the NCAA. It seems like the proper punishment would be to punish those athletes who knowingly participated in this academic fraud, suspending them for a season. Punishing student-athletes who had no part in the violation makes no sense.
Compare this to the UNC case where a bogus course is created with the knowledge and consent of the administration with the sole purpose of giving athletes grades so they could qualify academically and the NCAA says "we can't do anything".
The NCAA seems dead set on destroying whatever remaining credibility they have.

Every time a team is penalized they are penalizing players that had nothing to do with the violations. It the nature of the beast. A lot of time the player has already left. In this case you have to remember the tudors were employees of the athletic department thus the team should be penalized.
I do agree that UNC should have been smacked and smacked hard.

UNC got off on a technicality. The only lesson learned there is if you're going to cheat, cheat big.

I think it’s crappy of the NCAA to wait for the final week of the season to deliver the verdict. Knowing you have a chance and all you have to do is beat the worst power 5 team. And then they say no

Yeah but what are they really missing out on? The Liberty Bowl in Memphis?

The NCAA has waaay too much power. But a necessary evil to keep cheating schools in check...as flawed as it is. Imagine what Bama would do without any rules and regs in place. They are bad enough as it is.

I hope UTAD paid attention to this. Lesson: never self-report anything serious, never admit anything serious, never cooperate with NCAA investigators, lawyer up and fight to the last. NCAA seems to be like some women I've known, treat them like shite and they'll do anything for you, treat them with respect and they'll piss all over you.

I think they were hoping Mizzou would not be able to get bowl eligible so it would not matter on their ruling..
but seeing as how they play lowly Arky to be bowl eleigible they had to do something...
NCAA does what it wants too...
see LSU as an example....
