The message from the NCAA is crystal clear: don't investigate yourself, don't cooperate, and treat the infractions process as adversarial. https://t.co/t79JTz9dgg

Typical NCAA...punish the innocent. NCAA believes in education, so punish by taking away educational opportunity. Makes zero sense. NCAA had no case against UNC, so it unreasonably slams Missouri to look tough. How lame. https://t.co/y1DK0hsERn

Dennis Dodd on the NCAA's "position" on academic misconduct. Hint: it's the fetal position. What's clear...cooperation gets you nothing. You're better off fighting. And, the NCAA has never held themselves accountable. It only sanctions players. Typical. https://t.co/FQ68qFHADa

NCAA's harsh sentence on Mizzou makes one thing clear: Never cooperate with the NCAA https://t.co/57qMXVUbSU pic.twitter.com/fkM1KvFJn0

A 2019 season full of promise at Missouri has already been turned upside down thanks to the NCAA's illogical punishment systemhttps://t.co/AFYsujV7bX

On the NCAA/Mizzou call with David Roberts, the chief hearing officer for the panel, I asked if schools are now being encouraged not to cooperate or tell the truth. Roberts replied: "You can certainly make that argument."

Roberts added that he would hope people would still self-report/cooperate/tell the truth because if they don't that, those are aggravating/mitigating factors which affect the severity of the punishment.

In its report, the Committee on Infractions directly addresses the difference between Mizzou and UNC's cases, which is, essentially, Mizzou admitted to there being fraud and UNC did not. pic.twitter.com/QZfxIslGC5

It kind of looks like the NCAA was so mad at UNC it decided to hammer Mizzou. That's quite the punishment for 12 kids over 3 sports.

Truly one of the most bizarre rulings in some time (which is saying something). https://t.co/PRQDsum3XA

Just got quick look at the full Mizzou report. Does not seem like a situation where the punishment fits the crime. Mizzou getting popped with postseason ban because the tutor was doing work for a year undetected until she came forward, plus hoops case a few years ago.

In other words I don't really understand how Mizzou football would get a postseason ban based on the facts of the case alone absent the hoops violations.
