Well here’s some breaking news I didn’t expect this afternoon: after an NCAA investigation into impermissible benefits, Missouri’s men’s basketball program just announced a series of self-imposed punishments, including:
- A one-year postseason ban for the 2015-2016 season, meaning they will NOT participate in the 2016 SEC Tournament
- Vacating all its wins from the 2013-2014 season
- Giving up one men’s basketball scholarship for 2015-2016 and an additional scholarship no later than the 2017-2018 season
- Further restrictions on recruiting activities through 2017
- Paying a $5,000 fine
What happened?
