MU ****Official 2019 Missouri Tigers Football Thread**** - Page 36

All this for a school who hasnt won a conference championship since they shared it with KU in 1968? Man.. you guys put a lot more into this than the school does. Tough conference to figure it out in. Could be worse.. you could be Arkansas in the west.

It isn’t.

The Athletic Department’s costs have exploded - primarily administrative costs - while revenue in basketball and football has dropped off a bit.

They also have spent a lot of money on nonrevenue sports facilities upgrades. Dumb expenditures when football and hoops weren’t operating at high levels.

They have to stay at a certain number of nonrev sports to remain in D1 and in the SEC, but they could trim 1 men’s and 2 women’s sports and save several million dollars.

Would that pass Title IX muster?

As long as resources remain proportional.

I think the most interesting aspect about this team is just how fucking allergic they are to actually racking up the turnovers that hit them right in their fucking hands. Remarkable really.

Anyone see Sterk's comments?

It was a lot of AD speak but my God...he talked about being excited about becoming bowl eligible as if that's some great accomplishment for Odom and this team.

He's really going to limp dick his way to a 6-6 record and be brought back...ugh.

I'm done with them and I'm not the only one. Good luck selling this trash to the state and recruits next year and beyond.

Would be Mizzou as hell

Because Mizzou

So...has Odom been whacked yet?
[Reply]

I could easily see them bringing Odom back, but you can never take what these kind of people say in press conferences.

Also how could Odom possibly canned? Just look at the kids GPAs!
[Reply]

An Odom firing and a ruling in the appeal would be a fantastic way to round this season out.
[Reply]

So... Brian Harsin, Luke Fickell (top guys they could get to take the job) move the needle for this group?

I don’t know that either one is a splashy hire, but think both are upgrades from Odom. If they have to dip further into the pool, I think Blake Anderson at Arkansas State would be a guy to consider, too.

Hopefully they finally get over the "True Son" bullshit. Hiring both Kim Anderson and Odom were monumentally stupid decisions.

There is no way they will get the top candidates considering all the job openings there will be (FSU, MSU, Arkansas, probably Auburn) so I am willing to roll the dice.

Sure as hell beats having Odom around for another year.
