Mizzou closes two dorms due to lack of students Enrollment down by 1500 students forcing two dorms to close and other assorted austerity measures. Looks like a lot of people do not want to be around the childish student body there and the hostile environment that said students are creating. The President is a fink. |

Maybe Mizzou should get out of the football business and instead concentrate on education If the price is being a smaller low profile University , so be it The NCAA is a cancer on Universities and their student athletes Taking part in a sport which can cause brain damage (CTE) in not what Universities should be participating in regardless of the millions at stake Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Maybe they need to get out of the babysitting business as well and tell their students to act like adults. That is what caused the problem, not the football program.
I have no love for the NCAA, but not for your reason. Smart schools would bolt the NCAA and make their own association and run their programs like they want to. Let the smaller schools compete among themselves. The President is a fink. |
