Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk spoke out against the NCAA after its decision to deny the Missouri Tigers’ appeal of the sanctions the committee deemed appropriate for the athletic department.
The problem is that the NCAA doesn’t think other schools that acted in the same manner shouldn’t receive as harsh of a penalty, either because they were offered a different avenue for a way out (Mississippi State) or they didn’t cooperate completely (North Carolina).
Mizzou in fact hurt itself by helping the NCAA with the investigation. But they would do the same because it was the right thing to do, said chancellor Alexander Cartwright.
