Mizzou AD's letter: Investigation found former tutor's academic fraud claims were true | The Kansas City Star

Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk recently sent a letter to Yolanda Kumar, a former tutor for the athletic department, that indicates her claims of academic fraud made in 2016 were true.

The letter, which was written on April 19, was posted on Twitter by Kumar two days ago with the comment, "local mail is so slow," followed by the hashtags of cool, showme and mizzou.

In November 2016, Kumar told The Star she helped more than a dozen Mizzou student-athletes commit varying degrees of academic fraud. The revelations led to an NCAA investigation, which is ongoing and could be completed by this summer.
