Ex-Mizzou tutor offers to trade details of alleged academic fraud for payoff of student debt

Yolanda Kumar, the tutor at the epicenter of the Missouri athletic department’s joint investigation with the NCAA into alleged academic fraud, touched off a social-media firestorm Friday afternoon by offering to sell details of the case in exchange for about $3,000.

The entire payment will be submitted to the University of Missouri. I just want my transcripts. #freemytranscripts
