There’s a new task force huddling up in the Missouri athletics department. Charged with developing a “modern Mizzou model,” the “3M task force” has assembled to tackle what changes might be necessary as revenue sharing arrives in the college sports universe.
That uncertainty-charged topic, along with plans for the renovation of Memorial Stadium’s north concourse, were among the main themes of a Thursday University of Missouri System Board of Curators meeting that included a presentation from Mizzou athletics director Laird Veatch on his first eight weeks on the job.
The House settlement — the result of a legal process that will permit schools to share revenue directly with athletes — seemed to be a key point of interest for MU administration.
