Barry Odom’s job as Missouri’s football coach continues to get more difficult because of things out of his control.
On Thursday, the NCAA announced a one-year bowl ban for his program after releasing its findings on the academic fraud investigation that has lingered over the athletic department since 2016.
Missouri’s baseball and softball programs were also hit with postseason bans and all three teams have recruiting restrictions and scholarship reductions despite the case having no ties to recruiting violations.
Athletic director Jim Sterk said Missouri is already working on an appeal and has hired Kansas City attorney Michael Glaser for outside council.
