The Bulldog’s route to the SEC Championship Game just got much easier. The Missouri Tigers were slapped with a one-year post season ban, loss of scholarships and a three-year probation today. Their postseason ban means that Georgia can return to the SEC Championship Game with a second place finish in the East, if the Tigers win the division.
Of course, that is not a goal the coaches are going to shoot for. But it is a safety net the Bulldogs might find themselves needing, especially since the Tigers were expected to improve with transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant.
Missouri’s punishment comes from an admission of a former tutor that she completed classwork for multiple student athletes at Missouri, including three football players.
