I am very concerned about the recent developments regarding the "unrest" created by some radicals on campus. I feel bad that the current football players have been manipulated by the media and government leadership to take such foolish action. I discussed this topic with several others this morning and have decided that if ANY of the 1950 movement demands are appeased or met I will pull my season tickets and spend my $$ with another university sports program. It is very dangerous to allow any radical group take a PUBLIC institution hostage for ANY reason. I support the players and everyone else's right to free speech but, allowing such things to influence public policy is completely unacceptable.

I just wanted to check and see if participating in a social or political protest can put a student-athlete's scholarship in danger? In other words, can any of these players lose their scholarships for participating? Even if they miss a game?

I know everyone really wants to talk about the ins and outs of the decision by the players to protest, but I assure you that my story is not about that. I am taking a much broader, step back look at what life is like for students of color on the Mizzou campus, and I believe it is crucial to include the experiences of student-athletes in that, as their experiences often have their own nuances that are different from the student body as a whole.

Subject: Missouri 2015; and Syracuse University (SU8) 1969; experiences similar To Missouri staff and football players, (46 years...later 1969; 2015) I just wanted to congratulate the folks involved with your most recent, and successful, football boycott. I am a late 1960’s Syracuse football player that actively boycotted our team, with other fellow black players, for reasons similar to yours... I was so moved by the way the coaching-staff, students, faculty and players seemed to join in great solidarity against obvious racism. Your situation gives me great hope that our sacrifice was not in vain...We just had a book written and released about our boycott. Please take the opportunity to read below. And please give this e-mail to the football coaching staff and thank them for their courage in the midst of national adversity....thank-you.

Couldn't do coach, he is not on facebook. Peace & Blessings, We, the Syracuse 8 are reaching out to you! We are ball players who boycotted in 1970 at Syracuse University.

If there is only one book to read this year, this is it. It will enlighten the reader about the historical, unfolding saga essentially of the appalling experiences endured and the sacrifices made to create a better future on and off the field for African American athletes and others. “ —Joseph Cangemi, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Western Kentucky University “Leveling the Playing Field is a lesson in the costs and rewards when individuals and small groups of people stand for dignity in the face of in- transigent institutions and sometimes mean-spirited authority. The story of the Syracuse Eight would not have been complete without this book.” —Douglas P. Biklen, Dean Emeritus, School of Education, Syracuse University Leveling the Playing Field tells the story of the African American members of the 1969–70 Syracuse University football team who petitioned for racial equality on their team. The petition had four demands: access to the same academic tutoring made available to their white teammates; better medical care for all team mem- bers; starting assignments based on merit rather than race; and a discernible ef- fort to racially integrate the coaching staff, which had been all white since 1898. The players’ charges of racial disparity were fiercely contested by many of the white players on the team, and the debate spilled into the newspapers and drew protests from around the country. The players who signed the petition did not receive a response allowing or even acknowledging their demands. They boycotted the spring 1970 practice, and Coach Ben Schwartzwalder, a deeply beloved figure on campus and a Hall of Fame football coach nearing retirement, banned seven of the players from the team. As tensions escalated, white players staged a day-long walkout in support of the coaching staff, and an enhanced police presence was required at home games. Extensive interviews with each player offer a firsthand account of their decision to stand their ground while knowing it would jeopardize their professional football career. They discuss with candor the ways in which the boycott profoundly changed the course of their lives. In Leveling the Playing Field, Marc chronicles this contentious moment in Syracuse University’s history and tells the story through the eyes of the players who demanded change for themselves and for those who would follow them. David Marc is the author of numerous books, including Bonfire of the Humanities Television, Subliteracy, and Long-Term Memory Loss.

My son, who is a student at MU is going to be coming in to tailgate and we were planning to have the football atmosphere. And now I read that half the team is staging a boycott of football. If the MU Tigers don't show up, then I will stage my boycott of the MU Tigers. That will include the rest of the MU Tiger football season and as well the basketball season. This will include the football season for next year. I am a strong suppo1ied of MU that follows the Tigers with passion. I can understand their reasoning, but I don't think the AD, Coach Pinkel, or th e Tiger football team understand life lessons. I work at hospital, would you like the staff to boycott working if an issue like this popped up? Not show up and provide health care. Verses work within the system through an arbitrator. Sony to rant, but this person will not be happy if the MU Tiger team does not show up. I'm also sure that AlTowhead patrons and administration will not be pleased if the Tigers pa1iially show up to play a gam e. I'm sure the ones who show up will still show suppo1i, but based on how the season has been going, it will take an entire team to play BYU. I'm not going to be afraid to walk out at half time if it's a half effort. I will also voice my opinion to my son, who will notice less family suppo1i for MU. Again, apologies for voicing my frustrations, but athletics especially is a big time event, an d has to be thought of it in all context. Feel free to fo1ward to Coach Pinkel.

W - 33-20 #MIZZDUSTORYLINES MIZZOU BACK STEPS OUT OF CONFERENCE, RETURNS TO KANSAS CITY TO FACE BYU • Mizzou Football will step out of SEC play for the final time during the 2015 regular season to play host to Brigham Young in a neutral site meeting at Arrowhead Stadium, home the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs, Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network. Mizzou last played at Arrowhead in 201 1. defeating archrival Kansas. 24-10, in the program's final year in the Big 12. Saturday will be Mizzou's first appearance at Arrowhead since joining the SEC. In all, Mizzou is 5-1 in games played at Arrowhead Stadium under head coach Gary Pinke/ and Mizzou is 5-2 all-time at Arrowhead, which opened in 1972. • Saturday's game with BYU will be the second meeting ever between the two teams and the first in the regular season as the only other meeting came in the 1983 Holiday Bowl. BYU, quarterbacked by Pro Football Hall of Farner Steve Young, edged Mizzou on a TD in the final minute. winning 21-17. Current Mizzou Associate Head Coach Andy Hill was a member of that year's team. A further breakdown of the game is located on page seven. • As Mizzou heads to Arrowhead, it will look to cap a perfect non-conference slate in 2015. Mizzou is 3-0 this season out of SEC play with wins over Southeast Missouri. Connecticut and a true road win at Arkansas State. In fact, since joining the SEC in 2012. M izzou is 13-2 in non-conference games with wins over the likes of Arizona State. UCF. Indiana and Toledo. Under Gary Pinke/ w ho is now in his 15th season at the helm, Mizzou is 53-16 in non-conference games (including Bowl games). Excluding bowl games. Mizzou is 46-12 in regular season non-conference games. • Mizzou is coming off of a loss to then #20-ranked M ississippi State lastThursday (Nov. 5). 31-13. in a rare Thursday Night game at Memorial Stadium. Mizzou had been brilliant against the pass all season. but MSU OB Oak Prescott tossed for fourTDs in the win. Mizzou ran for a season-high 215 yards in the loss. highlighted by both /sh Witter and Tyler Hunt each breaking 80 yards. Mizzou trailed at the half by just one at 14-13 after a 14-yardTD scamper by senior RB Russell Hansbrough, but Mississippi State shut M izzou out in the second half and took advantage of big plays to put the game away. A complete breakdown of the game is located on page seven. • As we move into the final three weeks of the season. it is time to start thinking about All-America and All-Conference accolades for senior LB Kentrell Brothers. The Guthrie, Okla.. native added 14 tackles to his ledger on Thursday, moving his season total to 11 7, the top mark in the nation. He also added a forced fumble and a blocked punt, his third block of the season which is also a national-best. He is 15 tackles ahead of the next-closest tackler in the nation and is 21 ahead of the nextclosest SEC play (Auburn LB Johnathan Ford). Couple that with his 7.STFLs, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions, it's hard to argue that there is a better LB in the nation. fj @MIZZOUFOOTBALL MIZZDU STARTERS RS SO // 6-5 // 310 II PENSACOLA, FLA. • Moved to LT in 2015 • Strongest guy oo team.

Only 14 Tigers (and only 12 running backs) have ever rushed for more than 2.000 yards in a career. Hansbrough is the first Tiger to do so since He11ry Josey in 2013. Hansbrough ran for 62 yards last Thursday vs. MSU, moving him to 2,172. • Hansbrough is the seventh player under head coach Gary Pi11kel to accomplish that feat. Other 2,000-yardrushers under PinkeI include QB Brad Smith {4,289), Zack Abro11 (3,198), He11ry Josey (2,771), To11y Temple (2,552), Kendial Lawre11ce (2,232) and Derrick Wasfli11gto11 (2,085). Of course, all of those running backs were mentored by RB coach Brian Jo11es, who has been with Pinkel's coaching staff sinee 1992. • Hansbrough is the first Mizzou player to rushfor 1,000 yards and return for aseason since Henry Josey in2013. Hansbrough ran for 1,084 yards in 2014. Hansbrough's 205 rushes in 2014 were the most by a Tiger RB since 2003 when Zack Abron ran the ball 219 times.

In fact, Harris was one of 13 players nationally selected by the Maxwell Club to be added to the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List earlier this month. • Harris joins teammate Ke11trell Brothers (Guthrie, Okla.) as Brothers was on the original Bednarik Award Watch List, which was released in July. Harris ranks fifth nationally and leads the Southeastern Conference with 11 .5 tackles for loss in 201 5. Harris isalso ranked seventh in the SECand among the nation's top 60 in quarterback sacks with 4.0. Harrisrecorded 2.0 sacks at Arkansas State, equaling his career total coming in. He alsoregistered 4.5 tackles for loss (-24 yards) at A-State, which marked the first time a Mizzou defender recorded 4.5 or more tackles for loss in a game since Stryker Sulak had 5.0 TFLs vs. Illinois Aug. 30, 2008. • Harris is fourth on the team and leads Mizzou defensive linemen with has 46 tackles (26 solo) with a team-high 17.0 tackles for loss (-80 yards), 7.0 sacks (-51 yards), six QB hurries and two forced fumbles through eight games. Harris is a big 8 reason why Mizzou leads the SEC while ranking third nationally with 83 total tackles for loss with at least seven in each game. Harris has had multiple tackles for loss in seven of Mizzou's nine games this season and he is averaging -4.7 yards per TFLthis season. FATONY NAMED TO RAY GUY WATCH LIST • Mizzou Football's true freshman punter Corey Fato11y {Franklin, Tenn.) has been named a candidate for the Ray Guy Award, as announced last Friday by the Augusta Sports Council. The award honors the nation's top punter and Fatony is one of just six freshmen punters on the watch list. This is the second time this season that Fatony has been recognized by the Augusta Sports Council after taking home Ray Guy National Player of the Week honors following Mizzou's game vs. Florida on Oct. 10. • Fatony ranks 201h nationally in punting, averaging 44.1yards per punt on 61 punts, a mark that ranks fourth-nationally. His 44.1 yards per punt average - which is on pace to be Mizzou's fourth-best single season mark - is the best mark nationally among freshmen punters. Fatony is a big reason why Mizzou ranks 18th nationally in net punting. • The list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists to be announced on November 13. Following the semifinalists announcement. a national body of Football Bowl Subdivision {FBS) sports information directors, coaches, media representatives and previous Ray Guy Award winners will vote for the top three finalists, who will be identified on November 23. The voting body will then cast ballots to select the winner. • The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured live on ESPN during The Home Depot College Football Awards, Thursday, December 10, at 7pm. BAGGETT 19 POINTS SHY OF MIZZOU CAREER RECORD • Heading into Saturday's game, Mizzou senior PK Andrew Baggett sits just 19 points shy of breaking Jeff Wolfert's career record for points scored. Baggett has 334 points in his career (63 field goals. 155 PATs). • Last time out vs. MSU, Baggett connected on one of two FGattempts, moving his career total to 63. That is ahead former Tiger kicker Jeff Wolfert for theall-time career FG record at Mizzou. Wolfert (2DD6-08) had 59 inhis years as the Tiger kicker. • In hiscareer. Baggett has turned in two of the best point-scoring season totals in Mizzou history. His 120 points in 2013 rank fourth all-time at Mizzou while his97 total points a season ago rank 14th. HOLDING ONTO THE ROCK • Mizzou is coming off of a school-record performance in 2D14 when it comes to ball security. Mizzou lost just three fumbles in 2014, the fewest in program history. • Mizzou ran 954 plays in 2014, meaning that the Tigers lost a fumble just once in every 318 plays a season ago. • The lost fumbles were not a case of just getting 'the lucky bounce' either. Mizzou put the ball on the turf just 10 times in 2014 {once every 95 plays). To put how good the 10 fumbles were, Mizzou's opponents fumbledmore than three times as much with 32 fumbles. In fact, Mizzou recovered more fumbles (13) than it committed as a team in 2D14. • The trend has continued in 2015 as Mizzou has lost just zero fumbles in 576 total offensive plays over the first nine games with all three fumbles on special teams. The first fumble was on a punt as the ball hit a player and was recovered by UConn in the thirdgameof the season. The second came as PRCamHilto11 was hit immediately as he fielded the ball, fumbling it away to Georgia. The same thinghappenedat Vanderbilt for Hilton. Mizzou has yet to lose a fumble on an offensive play from scrimmage this season. • Mizzou leads the SEC and is tied for 15th nationally in fumbles lost this season, a stat that head coach Gary Pi11kel and his staff have done a great job reinforcing its importance with their team. BROTHERS OVER 100 TACKLES FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR • There hasn't been a more productive linebacker in the nation so far this season than Mizzou's Kentrell Brothers. With 14 stops vs. Mississippi State last time out Brothers became the first Mizzou LB to post back-to-back 100-tackle seasons since current Arizona Cardinal Sea11 Weatherspoo11, who totalled 155 in 2008 and 111 in 2009. Weatherspoon also posted 13Din 2007 as he accomplished the feat in three consecutive seasons. • Brothers joins Weatherspoon and James Kinney as the only players under head coach Gary Pi11kel with back-to-back 1DD-tackle seasons. • Brothers has broken double-digits in tackles in eight of nine games and has 12-plus tackles in six of nine games, including a career-high 17 at Georgia. GAME 10: BYU AT ARROWHEAD STADIUM - KANSAS CITY, MO. MIZZDU FOOTBALL QUICK STRIKES ... MORE NOTABLES IF IT'S A CLOSE GAME PUTTING THE DEFENSE INTO PERSPECTIVE • While we break down where Mizzou's defensive numbers rank both nationally and in the SECon the next page, it is important to look at some key stats that prove just how dominant Mizzou's defense has been this season. • Mizzou has allowed the third-fewest TOs nationally with just 15, tied with Boston College and Florida. That is a key reason why Mizzou ranks fourth nationally in scoring defense this season. • InGary Pi11kel's 15years on the sideline at Mizzou, theTigers have playedin plenty of close games and the Tigershave a knack for winning those games, especially lately. • Pinkel in his career at Mizzou is 27-24 in games decided by seven points or fewer, including a6-4 mark since 2013 and a 5-2 mark in 2014and 2015. • Mizzou is40-34 ingames decidedby 10 or fewer under Pinkel and 13-8 since joining the SEC, including a 6-2 mark in 2014 anda 1G-5 mark since 2013. DEFENSE TERRIFIES OPPONENTS IN OCTOBER TURNOVER MARGIN IS KEY FOR PINKEL'S TIGERS • Aswe move toweektwo of November. it's time to takea look back at just how good Mizzou's defense was in October. In four games, Mizzou allowed 10 or fewer points in three October contests and the Tigers allowed just 10 scores all month - two in one game against Florida (the third was a pick-six against the Mizzou offense). Mizzou's defense allowed just four TDs throughout the entire month and limited opponents to just 10.75 points per game in that span. DEFENSE DOMINANT AWAY FROM • Defensive coordinator Barry Odom's group has been outstanding all season long and they have been downright salty away home. In four home games this season. Mizzou has allowed just 15 points per game and has allowed just six TDs in four nonhome games. Keep inmind that five of those sixTDs came in the first two road games of the season at Arkansas State and at Kentucky. Since then over the Tigers' last two road games, they haveallowed just one TD and just 19 total points. 10 POINTS OR FEWER ALLOWED IN FIVE OF EIGHT GAMES • Mizzou's defense is on a historic pace so far this season when it comes to keeping the opponent off the scoreboard. Infive of nine games. Mizzou's defensehas limitedits opponents to 10 or fewer points. That is just the second time since 1980 that Mizzou has accomplished that feat - the other was 2010. • In all. Mizzou has limited five opponents to fewer than 10 points in a season 53 times since 1890. butthe majority of those camepriorto1950 (36 of the53occurrences came from 1890-1950). • 2015 marks just the second season under head coach Gary Pinke/that Mizzou has allowed 10 or fewer points in five games. MORE PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEFENSE • Though Mizzou has lost five games this season. the defense has been outstanding in four of those losses. In fact, Mizzou is allowing an average of just 18.4 points per game in those five losses. That is the fourth-best mark (second among teams w/ multiple losses) among defenses nationally in games lost. • Mizzou's first loss came at Kentucky when it allowed 21 points and Florida, ranked 11th at the time, also hung 21 on the Mizzou defense. But in each of the next two losses -at Georgia and at Vanderbilt - Mizzou has allowed just 19 total points and just five scores. MSUlast Thursday was the only teamto hang more than 21 points on the Tigers this season. IF IT GOES TO OVERTIME • Grab your stomach acid medication and hold on tight, as a stellar defense and a knack for playing tight games can be a recipe for overtime. If it does go overtime, Mizzou fans can rest easy, as no program in NCAA history has won more overtime games than the Tigers. Mizzou has played 16 overtime games since the rule came into effect in 1996 (2nd-most behind Tennessee's 17), and the Tigers have come out victorious an NCAA-best 11 times ... • The most OT wins in NCAA history look like this: 1. Mizzou, Tennessee (11 ); 2. Arlcansas (10), 4. Michigan, Northwestern, Syracuse, Utah (9); 8. 10 teams tied (8).. . • Here's a listing of the most OT games played in NCAA history (thru games of Oct. 17)-1. Tennessee (17); 2. Mizzou, Fresno State, Syracuse, Utah (16); 6. Northwestern, Pittsburgh, (15); 8. 7 teams tied (14).. . • Interestingly enough, Mizzou Head Coach Gary Pinke/ has the distinction of coaching in the first overtime game ever played at the FBS level. When Pinkel was skipper for Toledo, his Rockets won the MAC title and faced Nevada in the 1995 Las Vegas Bowl. For the 1995 bowl season, the current overtime rule was put into effect, and the game went to overtime, where Pinkel's Rockets claimed a 40-37 win in one extra period ... • Pinkel is 8-3 alltime at Mizzou in overtime, and he is 1G-3 alltime. including a perfect 2-0 at Toledo • Looking deep into the turnover margin, since Gary Pinke/ took over the Mizzou program in 2001, Mizzou owns a plus-84 advantage in turnover margin (188 games). • Pinkel's teams have won the turnover margin in 87 games. going 71 -1 7 in such contests. Remarkably, 11 of those 16 losses came in Pinkel's first five years as he was rebuilding the program. Starting in 2006, Mizzou is 51-5 when winning the turnover battle. It is no surprise that in that span. Mizzou has won five conference division championships. • Since joining the SEC, Mizzou is 17-2when winning the TD battle including acurrent streak of 10 consecutive wins. While the 10 consecutive wins when winning the TO battlemay seem impressive. it is still just over a third of the way to the school record, which is 29 consecutive wins by Pinkel's crew from 2005-2010. • InPinkel's 188 games as a head coach, Mizzou has either won the TO battle or tied in 138 of those 188 games. Mizzou has won 101 of those 138 games. • Below is a breakdown of games when Mizzou has won the TO battle under Pinkel: Mizzou Record By Turnover Mar gin Under Pinke# (188 games) Turnover Margin +1 Turnover +2 Turnover +3Turnover +4 Turnover +5 Turnover W 25 25 12 6 3 L 13 4 0 0 0 Pct . 65.8% 86.2% 100% 100% 100% PINKEL'S RECORD BY POINTS SCORED • The winningest coach inMizzou history, Gary Pinke/has takena once downtrodden program to one of the nation's most elite programs since 2007. Below is a look at his recordbase on points scored. • It is worth noting when looking at this chart that when Mizzou scores at least 30 points, Pinkel is 93-1 0. What is even more remarkable is that Mizzou has scored more than 30 points in 103 of Pinkel's 188 games (55 percent).

That being said, the defense is well- represented in the national and SEC rankings so far this season. Below is a look.

Sacks/gm 0.78 5th 20th Charles Harris Sacks/gm 0.78 5th 20th It is important to note that Brady leads all freshmen nationally with his seven sacks through the first nine games. Looking deeper into the stats, Harris and Brady have combined to give Miuou one of the most potent DE duos in the nation. In fact, the duo's combined 27.5 tackles for loss (1 7.0 for Harris. 10.5 for Brady) are ahead of the pace set by current NFL players Shane Ray and Markus Golde11, who had 25.5 through nine games a season ago. Harris and Brady have also combined to giveMiuou's the nation's second-best TFL duos. Below is a breakdown. NATION'S TOP TACKLES FOR LOSS DUOS School Player Player 1.

Every other player on the list above is either a junior or senior. TIGER DEFENSE STAYING AWAY FROM BIG PLAYS Miuou's defense has done a solid job of keeping opponents in check all season long, as one might surmise, with the Tigers ranking highly in many defensive categories within the SECand nationally. One area where MU has really excelled is limiting long plays fromscrimmage. In 637 defensive snaps through nine games so far, Mizzou has allowed only 26 plays of 20 yards or more, which leads the SECand is 7th the NCAA. Breaking that down further, the Tigers have allowed only six plays of 30 yards or more(a nationalbest), and they have allowed just two plays of 40-plus yards. the second-best mark in the nation, trailing only Northwestern. The Tigers have been the best against the run on denying long plays, as they've allowed only three rushes of 20 yards or more (a national-best mark). 10 Continuing the theme of Mizzou's solid defensive play, we offer the fact that the Tigers have allowed 21 points or less in eight of nine games so far in 201 5, and Mizzou's scoring defense average of 14.6 is tops in the SEC (and ranks 4th nationally)... Before Mississippi State hung 31 on the Tiger defense last Thursday, the Tigers had allowed 21 or fewer points in 9 consecutive games overall, which was the longest such streak at Miuou since Warren Powers' Tigers achieved that in 12 straight games spanning the 1981-82 seasons. That streak began on Oct. 24. 1981, with a 6-0 loss to#15 Nebraska, and continued through Oct. 16, 1982, with a 17-1 7 tie against Iowa State. The 12-game string was broken. albeit barely, on Oct. 23, 1982, with a 23-19 loss at#5 Nebraska... INDIVIDUAL NOTABLES LB Kentrell Brothers had a career-high 17 tackles at Georgia. His 17 tackles broke hisprevious career-high of 16, set twice earlier this season. The 17 tackles are also tied for the second-most by a Tiger in the PinkeI era. Brothers now has four of the top-seven tackling performances in the Pinkel era with all four coming this season (17 at UGA. 16 vs. SEMO, Arkansas State, 15 vs. Florida). He followed the UGA performance with 12 tackles last time out at Vanderbilt abd 14 last week vs. MSU. He now has 12 or more tackles in six of nine games and has broken double-digit tackles in eight of nine games. Brothers has 11 7 tackles (61 solo). 7.5 TFLs (-24 yards). 2 INTs (returned 9 yards). three blocked kicks and one pass broken up through nine games. His 11 7 tackles lead the nation as do his 13.0 tackles per game. Mizzou's single season tackles record is 164 by Travis McDonald(1994). His 11 7 tackles this season are already the 19th-most by a Tiger with three regular season games remaining. Brothers has 147 tackles over his last 12 games (12.25 avg.). Brothers' 2-interception performance at Arkansas State was the first for Miuou since S Bray/011 Webb picked off two passes at Florida on Oct. 18, 2014. It marked the 11th time a Miuou defender has recorded two or more picks over the last 18 years. Brothers is just the third linebacker to gain that distinction, joining LB Sean Weatherspoon (2 vs. Illinois on Aug. 30, 2008) and LB Brandon Barnes (2 vs. Texas Tech on Oct. 25, 2003). Brothers is the first Mizzou player under Gary Pi11kel to post four consecutive games with at least 10 tackles before seeing that streak snapped against South Carolina.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTABLES PINKEL ON DODD TROPHY WATCH LIST • Mizzou football head coach Gary Pi11kel was one of 23 head coaches to be named to the Dodd Trophy Preseason Watch List. announced July 10 by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Pinkel is one of eight SECcoaches to land on the list. which is designed to recognize the nation's top head coach. • The list includes 23 of the nation's top college football coaches representing all Power 5 conferences, the Mountain West Conference and Notre Dame. The head coaches on the watch list represent programs with the highest ideals of leadership, scholarship and integrity on and off the field - the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd's philosophy. Each coach sits at the helm of programs with winning records, superior Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and graduation rates. along with a strong commitment to service within their respective communities. • PinkeI is the reigning SECCoach of the Year and has led Mizzou to five conference division titles in the last eight seasons (2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014). which is tied for the best in the nation in that span. Miuou has won 78 games since 2007, which ties OhioState for the fifth-most winsnationally in that span. PinkeI is the winningest coach in Mizzou history (11 7-67) and is the 19th-winningest coach in FBS history. • Not only have Pinkel's teams seen tremendous success on the field, but they have excelled in the classroom. In 2013 and 2014. Pinkel's teams have ranked in the NCAA top 10 in APR. The Tigers were third in the SEC in APR in 201 5 and led the league in 2014. A 'BARRY' INTIMIDATING GROUP • Mizzou's defense has become one of the most feared groups in the SEC and this year. the group will have a new leader as DC Barry Odomreturns to Mizzou after a successful stint as the DC at Memphis. Odom. 38. as he takes over for Dave Steckel. who left to be head coach at Missouri State following the conclusion of Mizzou's 2014 season. • Odom has been defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Memphis for the past three seasons. where he has orchestrated an impressive body of work by the Tiger defense. Memphis concluded a 10-3 season that was fueled largely by Odom's defense which ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (17.1 ppg) and 22nd in total defense (343.3 ypg) heading into bowl season. That marked an astounding incremental improvement, as Memphis ranked 11 7th nationally in total defense in 201 1 prior to Odom assuming the reins. In 2012. Odom's first year. the Tiger defense improved to 50th nationally in total defense (383.6 ypg), followed by a jump to 39th in 2013 (370.7 ypg). Memphis earned a share of the 2014 American Athletic Conference title. giving them a conference championship for the first time since 1971. • It'sa homecoming for Odom as he returns to his alma mater. wherehe starred as a linebacker for Mizzou from 1996-99 and later returned for a nine-year stint (2003-11 ) in a variety of roles for Pinkel's staff. He first came back in 2003 as an administrative graduate assistant. and after one year in that role. Odom moved to director of recruiting for the 2004 and 2005 seasons and then served three years (2006-08) as director of football operations. • In 2009, Odom moved to the coaching side of the ledger, as Pinkel's safeties coach for three seasons where he developed Ke11ji Jackso11, Jarrell Harriso11 and Jasper Simmo11s into All-Big 12 performers for Tiger teams which won 26 games in those three years. Odomalso played a significant role in recruiting, as he was the lead on many highly-regarded prospects who chose to attend Miuou. BACK-TO-BACK • Miuou has won the SEC East in back-to-back seasons and that accomplishment has put Miuou in some pretty elite company. Since 2001 . Miuou joins Alabama. Georgia, Florida and Tennessee as the only SEC teams to win two consecutive SEC division titles. Four programs in the SEC(Kentucky, Ole Miss. Texas A&M and Vanderbilt) have never won an SEC Division Championship and Mizzou has done so twice in its first three seasons • Miuou's 23 wins over 2013 and 2014are fifth nationally, trailing onlyFlorida State(27), Ohio State (26). Michigan State (24) and Oregon (24). • Since 2007. Miuou has claimed five conference division titles (three Big 12North titles and two SEC East titles). the most in the nation during that span. • All of those division-winning seasons ended with at least 10 wins as five of Mizzou's six 10-win seasons inprogram history have come under the direction of Gary Pinke/. • In each of the last two seasons. Mizzou has clinched the SEC East at home with wins over SECWest powers Texas A&M (2013) and Arkansas (2014). Each division title seemed equally asj mprobable to national pundits, but Mizzou defied the odds each ¥ear. In 2013, 12 Miuou was coming off of a disappointing 2012 campaign in which it went 5-7. But the Tigers rebounded for a 12-2 season. ranking as high as No. 5 nationally and culminating in an AT&TCotton Bowl Classic win over Oklahoma State. Last year. Miuou won its final six regular season games despite being underdogs in four of those sixgames. The season ended with an 11-3mark anda Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl Championship. "MO"VEMBER • There is no question that in college football, teams that win in November often are destined for championships and Miuou Football has been the perfect reflection of that over the last two years. Since 2013. Mizzou is a perfect 8-0 in the month of November. REMEMBERING 'A0' 10 YEARS LATER • The 201 5 season marks the 10-year anniversary of the tragic passing of Aaro11 O'Neal, a linebacker on the 2005 Mizzou Football team who passed away at the age of 19 following a voluntary workout. O'Neal may be gone. but he has not been forgotten by anyone in the Mizzou community and his memory lives on with Gary PinkeI and the program 10 years later. • Gary Pinkel has done his best to help the program remember O'Neal. the man with the 'million-dollar smile' as he was renowned. Every year. a linebacker from the St. Louis area - where O'Neal called home -will don O'Neal's 125. Currently, that bestowment belongs to sophomore LB Oo11avi11 Newsom; he will wear it for the remainder of his career and pass along to another St. Louis LB. Newsom. just like O'neal, graduated from Parkway North High School in St. Louis. Mo. ,.._ d BOEHM, DENNIS, HANSBROUGH, SIMON CAPTAINS • Inits annual tradition.

The announcement came via Twitter on Saturday night in a post by Missouri'sLegion of Black Collegians. It comes after several recent racial incidents on Missouri's campus, and with Wolfe under fire for how he has handled them. The tweet included a photograph of 32 black men, including starting running back Russell Hansbrough.

(I agree, but want to clarify: When students engage in racist or hateful speech, the University assesses whether they have violated the Student Code of Conduct (sometimes called the Standard of Conduct) and/or the non-discrimmination policy, which is part of the conduct code, but administered through the Equity Resolution Process.) The non-discrimination policy is here: http://mbook.missouri.edu/notice-of-non-discrimination/ The M Book (student conduct code) can be found here: http://mbook.missouri.edu/standard-of-conduct/ — my understanding is that racist or hateful speech is not de facto a violation, it depends on the circumstances. It may, however, fall into the categories of harassment, bullying or retaliation (or threatening and intimidating behavior or disruptive conduct) depending on the circumstances. The process for evaluate the circumstances and determine sanctions possible sanctions are outlined here: http://mbook.missouri.edu/standard-ofconduct/student-conduct-policy-and-procedures/ and the Equity Resolution Process for students is here: https://www.umsystem.edu/ums/rules/collected rules/programs/ch200/200.025 equity resolution process for resolving complaints of haras sment Currently the Title IX office is investigating all equity complaints (instances of discrimination, harassment or intimidation that may be motivated by the recipients’ membership in a protected class) (including, for example, race) and we are trying to reorganize this process.

Will the Athletic Department face any repercussions? If the team declines to play games, what action, if any, will the university take? - I see from today’s statement that the university has begun work “on a systemwide diversity and inclusion strategy” due out by April. Can you tell me about any interim steps or responses to recent events – for example, how did the university respond to the swastika drawn in feces on a dorm wall last month? - When students engage in racist or hateful speech, what kinds of penalties do they face? - A protester posted this clip online: https://twitter.com/Qiana_Jade/status/662835008516849668.

I just left a message on Chad’s voice mail. We’ve been following the racial issues currently happening on the Mizzou campus. Any chance that Coach Pinkel, Mack Rhoades, or any of the players might be available to join Chris on his program tonight, Monday, November 9, during the 8p ET hour? This would be for a LIVE interview, one-on-one, for about five to seven minutes. I’d be able to give you the exact hit time by around 2:30 p.m. ET today. We could pretape the interview as well if that’s better. We’d be happy to send a crew to the athletic center, and have someone join Chris via satellite. On a personal note, I’m from Columbia. I’m a graduate of Rock Bridge High School. My father was on the faculty at Mizzou. I grew up going to all of the Mizzou sporting events. I find all of this to be very upsetting. It would be very meaningful to have a representative from the football team on with Chris tonight. Thanks all! I look forward to hearing from someone.

I know that you are probably swamped right now, but if I may make a request. I am a national correspondent for The New York Times who covers issues of race and I would like to talk to Pat Ivey regarding some of the work of the student athlete group Mizzou Men for Men. I know everyone really wants to talk about the ins and outs of the decision by the players to protest, but I assure you that my story is not about that. I am taking a much broader, step back look at what life is like for students of color on the Mizzou campus, and I believe it is crucial to include the experiences of student-athletes in that, as their experiences often have their own nuances that are different from the student body as a whole. To that end, if you could make Mr. Ivey available, or someone else who works with the Men for Men group, I would greatly appreciate it. I can best be reached on my cellphone at 646-808-4276.

The announcement came via Twitter on Saturday night in a post by Missouri'sLegion of Black Collegians. It comes after several recent racial incidents on Missouri's campus, and with Wolfe under fire for how he has handled them. The tweet included a photograph of 32 black men, including starting running back Russell Hansbrough. "The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe 'Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,'" the tweet read. "We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students' experiences. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!"

My administration has been meeting around the clock and has been doing a tremendous amount of reflection on how to address these complex matters. Clearly, we are open to listening to all sides, and are confident that we can come together to improve the student experience on our campuses. We want to find the best way to get everyone around the table and create the safe space for a meaningful conversation that promotes change. We will share next steps as soon as they are confirmed. In conjunction with campus representatives, the university began work on a systemwide diversity and inclusion strategy, plan and metrics for the University of Missouri System as part of my strategic goals (see 1.4.i of the System Strategic Plan) as approved by the Board of Curators in summer 2015. Our due date for announcing the strategy was April 2016, having allowed for multiple stakeholders (e.g., faculty, staff, students, consultants) across the system to provide input into the plan. The majority of items listed on the Concerned Student 1950 List of Demands were already included in the draft of the strategy. While the student list provides more detail and more specific metrics than had been established in the UM System plan, we had anticipated providing specificity and detail to the plan over the coming months. In the meantime, I am dedicated to ongoing dialogue to address these very complex, societal issues as they affect our campus community. ### WWW.UMSYSTEM.EDU From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Fougere, John Reeves, Mark Bradley, Ryan Re: INTERVIEW TODAY Sunday, November 08, 2015 2:01:23 PM Mark, there are no plans for a news conference with President Wolfe today at this time.

The M Book (student conduct code) can be found here: http://mbook.missouri.edu/standard-of-conduct/ — my understanding is that racist or hateful speech is not de facto a violation, it depends on the circumstances. It may, however, fall into the categories of harassment, bullying or retaliation depending on the circumstances. The process for evaluate the circumstances and determine sanctions possible sanctions are outlined here: http://mbook.missouri.edu/standard-ofconduct/student-conduct-policy-and-procedures/ Currently the Title IX office is investigating equity complaints (instances of discrimination, harassment or intimidation that may be motivated by the recipients’ membership in a protected class) and we are trying to reorganize this process.

Clearly it includes only part of the interaction. Would you or President Wolfe like to comment on it? Thank you.

Subject: MSNBC's Chris Hayes interview request for tonight, Monday, November 9, during the 8p ET hour Importance: High Hi all, I’m a producer for MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. I just left a message on Chad’s voice mail. We’ve been following the racial issues currently happening on the Mizzou campus. Any chance that Coach Pinkel, Mack Rhoades, or any of the players might be available to join Chris on his program tonight, Monday, November 9, during the 8p ET hour? This would be for a LIVE interview, one-on-one, for about five to seven minutes. I’d be able to give you the exact hit time by around 2:30 p.m. ET today. We could pre-tape the interview as well if that’s better. We’d be happy to send a crew to the athletic center, and have someone join Chris via satellite. On a personal note, I’m from Columbia. I’m a graduate of Rock Bridge High School. My father was on the faculty at Mizzou. I grew up going to all of the Mizzou sporting events. I find all of this to be very upsetting. It would be very meaningful to have a representative from the football team on with Chris tonight. Thanks all! I look forward to hearing from someone.

I know that you are probably swamped right now, but if I may make a request. I am a national correspondent for The New York Times who covers issues of race and I would like to talk to you regarding some of the work of the student athlete group Mizzou Men for Men. I know everyone really wants to talk about the ins and outs of the decision by the players to protest, but I assure you that my story is not about that. I am taking a much broader, step back look at what life is like for students of color on the Mizzou campus, and I believe it is crucial to include the experiences of student-athletes in that, as their experiences often have their own nuances that are different from the student body as a whole. To that end, if you could give me a few moments of your time, or perhaps put me in touch with another mentor who works with the Men for Men group, I would greatly appreciate it.

Gents, I’ve received numerous requests from national media outlets asking about getting practice footage from today. Practice is completely closed, as you know, and that’s got the national outlets disappointed, naturally. I got to thinking/wondering if we couldn’t get some generic footage today captured by Mizzou Network, and then make that available for these outlets to pick up and use? Would be a great way to service them, and also for Mizzou Network to get a lot of exposure, perhaps? I’m not thinking a practice report, just have someone come out for the first 20 minutes, get a variety of stuff, and make a straight feed available, however it is most easily accessed by the outlets. Let me know your thoughts when you get a chance, please. Thanks!

We're doing pieces on the impact of student-athletes, and this unique experience for these kids in college can offer great lessons to our readers. Three names pop out: Rusell Hansbrough Brandon Lee John Gibson III But if there's someone else who's a particularly good talker and locker room leader, would love to connect. I'M flexible on time as know the players are busy — plan on working late. If tomorrow is the on;y time these players will be available that's great, though seems like today may be an off-day and more practical. As I realize these are busy students, can agree to keep the conversations short — maybe 15 minute or so? Also, if coach Pinkel has some time after his press conference for a one-on-one, would benefit our global audience too. Thanks so much..

Recent Football Athlete Nonsense Monday, November 09, 2015 1:14:12 AM Hi, Couldn't find an email for Mr. Rhodes. Please forward. I've been donating to Mizzou since I've graduated in 2011 and have been a football season ticket holder for the past 8 years (both Alumni and Student). Mr. Wolf has nothing to do with Mizzou football. Players holding out of not practicing because of politics is absolutely ridiculous and I will not continue my tickets next year if this issue is not dealt with. By dealt with, I mean reprimanding the student athletes and coaches who are holding out football activities. The coaches are paid money, and the student athletes are given free college via scholarships. They must uphold to their commitments and you must make them uphold them as directors in the Athletic Department. The national media is literally laughing at us right now because of how insane this all is. Please come to your senses and put a stop to the student athletes who are acting out of line and holding out. If for some reason a game is missed by players holding out, expect a HUGE financial impact for years to come. It is not in my best interests to resolve this, but simply YOURS as not being embarrassed on the national level.

Mack Rhoades and Gary Pinkel held a press conference this afternoon and I stand by their comments. We are sensitive to the issues on-campus and hope that healing and understanding takes place going forward. In the meantime, we have stayed focused on basketball and preparing for this game and our season. Potential Questions/Suggested Answers 1. Did your team ever consider joining the strike along with the football team? Suggested answer: “Our team met yesterday along with Mack Rhoades and the administration, and we decided collectively to move forward and play the basketball game tonight. We are sensitive to the issues on-campus and our team is in-tune with what is going on with its fellow students. We decided that we will look for other ways to assist with the healing and understanding on-campus. 2. What did you say to your team as all these events were unfolding? Suggested answer: “We spoke as a family like we always do. We always encourage input from our players, and along with Mack and the administration, we decided that we wanted to move forward and play tonight’s game.” 3. Have you ever seen anything like this unfold on a campus during your career? Suggested answer: “I really haven’t. I think it’s a unique situation and is really sad for all involved. At the same time, I have great confidence in this university and in our student body that we will work together to fix these issues and will keep Mizzou as one of the national’s elite universities.” 4. What was Mack Rhoades’ message to the team? Suggested answer: “Mack has always been fully supportive of our team and he was there to answer any questions that we had. He let our team know that our athletics department supports and us, and he really showed that he cares, which he has done since he started here in April.” Talking Points for Postgame Press Conference vs. Quincy Please speak from the heart, and below are some suggested answers in helping with these questions. 1. Did your team ever consider joining the strike along with the football team? Suggested answer: “We met yesterday as a team and we decided that we wanted to play this game tonight. We’re aware of what has been taking place on-campus and we want to help with that situation, but we felt playing tonight’s game was the best option for us as we prepare for this season.” 2. What did you and your teammates say to each? Suggested answer: “We spoke about things as a family like we always do. We’re all very close so we talked to each other like the sisters that we are. We love Mizzou and our fellow students here and we want to help be part of the solution going forward.” 3. Was there pressure from the football team to join the strike? Suggested answer: “No, there wasn’t. We have a lot of mutual respect for each other as student-athletes, and there was no pressure from them.” 4. Have you faced anything like this in your life? Suggested answer: “In life, we all face obstacles. It’s not always easy, but I have tremendous faith in this student body, this athletics department and this university. I love Mizzou, this is my home away from home. Even though there have been some tough times here recently, we’re going to continue to make this a better place and we’ll all have a better understanding for each other because of it.” From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Orscheln, Scott Bradley, Ryan Fisher, Alexandera J.

Members of the our community, including members of the Mizzou Football team, have come together to show acknowledgement and/or support for #MizzouHungerStrike and the #ConcernedStudent1950 movements. In recognition of the Mizzou football players who have chosen to stand with #ConcernedStudent1950, Mizzou Athletics issued the following statement: “The department of athletics is aware of the declarations made tonight by many of our student-athletes. We all must come together with leaders from across our campus to tackle these challenging issues and we support our student-athletes right to do so.” I imagine that this story will continue to unfold in the days to come leading up to our meeting on Thursday. I write to you tonight to ensure that you have seen the official statement regarding this evening’s headline about the football team. Bryan Maggard, Pat Ivey, Daryl Smith, Craig Roberts, Cathy Scroggs and I all spent time at the students’ campsite today. (Forgive me if I missed other IAC members who also visited). Chancellor Loftin was also on site encouraging the students. Amidst all of the emotion and exhaustion, the students are resilient and very united. I hope we’ll be able to share some more observations when we are together on Thursday. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, Craig Roberts, or Daryl Smith if you have any questions about campus efforts to move forward; as members of our campus Race Relations committee, we are dedicated to making Mizzou a world-class model for inclusivity. A steep charge, but one that we believe is possible.

It’s taken directly from our “We Are Mizzou” team book. Thanks for all you’ve done the past few days for Mizzou. Kat "Tiger Pride is coming together as a team." Tiger Pride has a lot of components, and it’s something that all Mizzou Football players must strive for. Tiger Pride 1 Tiger Pride begins with people. It is having a superior concern for people. It is an abiding respect for the dignity and potential of every person in our program. 2 Tiger Pride is coming together as a team. Everyone in our football program has a role to play, everyone has a part, and everyone must contribute. 3 Tiger Pride is integrity. It is a commitment to integrity that is lived 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year. 4 Tiger Pride must be synonymous with the word trust. There has to be mutual trust between the people in our football program. Here is what mutual trust is all about it. You must work harder than you have ever worked in your entire life because the guy next to you is working harder than he has ever worked in his entire life. He trusts you and you trust him. 5 Tiger Pride is compassion. Every Mizzou athlete is treated fairly and honestly. 6 Tiger Pride is leadership. Leadership seems to be the marshaling of skills possessed by a majority, but used by a minority. Leadership can be learned by anyone, taught to everyone, denied to no one. Nice guys are dime a dozen – a leader is priceless. 7 Tiger Pride is about winning and being a winner. Winning is reaching your full potential and becoming all that you can become. Winning is giving your best shot every day. Winning is overcoming setbacks, frustration and adversity. 8 Tiger Pride is a continued pursuit of excellence. It is doing all the little things right. Tiger Pride is doing 1,000 little things 1 percent better than our competition. 9 Tiger Pride is methodical day-to-day- work. Tiger Pride is summer conditioning and summer ball. It is two-a-day practices. Tiger Pride is in-season preparation. It is winter workouts and spring football. 10 Tiger Pride is you. Tiger Pride is feeling good about yourself because you are special. Tiger Pride is being #1. Tiger Pride is being a part of a great university in an exceptional place… MISSOURI! WE ARE MIZZOU!

In regards to race relations, Trayvon Martin, Micheal Brown, and other black men that are being hunted, harassed and stalked, to the point where violent outburst are becoming the norm. Which is destroying our country from the inside out. Race is a big part of our Country, and has been for some time now. Another important fabric that makes up our Country is sports. Where I grew up at, playing sports was always a common ground for ALL races to come together. After the thrilling triple overtime game at Hickman High against Rock Bridge, to the blow out win at Oakland Jr. High against Jeff Jr. to the last tie game between, the Bears and Rams in the Cosmo Parks Recreational Football League. Sports represents everything good about Columbia Missouri, and our Country. Young men and women that strain, study, and compete together to accomplish one goal. The time spent together on road trips, and practices, are the times these athletes and young adults spend forming bonds that last a life time. For me it was a chance to get to know my teammates and take a general interest in their cultures. Growing up in Columbia, I feel blessed to have been brought up in a town that developed a substantial Sports Community. This allows everyone from a Walmart Heir, or an Inner City Kid, to interact and bridge social and economical gaps of all walks of life. Growing up in Columbia you have passed Faurot Field, on your way to work, or to the kids soccer game. To me Faurot Feild is our "Saturday Church House". I’ve seen men and women black, white, red, brown, and yellow, all held each other after a 5th down lost to Colorado, or a last second kick ball that landed in the hand of a Nebraska receiver, and which one of us didn’t cry after. Cameron Dollar and Tyus Eddney ended our Tourney Run in 1995. My point is we in Columbia support our sports teams. We consider them like family, and the schools our family competes against we consider them the enemy. Enemies to our melting pot, and our way of life, "If Kansas folk would have known better, they would a been born in Missouri" lol. So when I saw Brigham young University, on Mizzou's Schedule, I became happy, because I now live in Provo, Utah. Where BYU is located. BYU has a rich athletic tradition, in football from the 1984 National Championship, to TY Detmer and his Heisman Trophy in 1990. Most of all, the impeccable leadership of Lavell Edwards and Bronco Mendenhall, true leaders of young men. BYU's athletic program does not worry me, its the people who surround the program, and what they stand for is what does. For Years the LDS Church has been under attack from people like Robert Jeffers a Dallas preacher, who made the comment, "Mormonism is a Cult". I on the other hand have been a spokes person for the Mormon Culture and their Philanthropic work they do all over the world. If you don’t know much about the Mormon religion, Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity. This movement was founded by Joseph Smith in the 1820s. During the 1830s and 1840s, Mormonism distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism. Mormonism today represents the new, non-Protestant faith taught by Smith in the 1840s. After Smith's death, most Mormons followed Brigham Young on his westward journey, calling themselves The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Variations not a part of the LDS Church include Mormon fundamentalism, which seeks to maintain practices and doctrines such as polygamy that were abandoned by the LDS Church, and various other small independent denominations. The word Mormon is originally derived from the Book of Mormon, one of the faith's religious texts. Based on the name of that book, early followers of founder Joseph Smith were called Mormons, and their faith was called Mormonism. The term was initially considered pejorative, but is no longer considered so by Mormons. Mormonism shares a common set of beliefs with the rest of the Latter Day Saint movement, including use of, and belief in, the Bible, as well as other religious texts including the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. It also accepts the Pearl of Great Price as part of its scriptural canon, and has a history of teaching eternal marriage, eternal progression, and plural marriage, although the LDS Church formally abandoned the practice of plural marriage in 1890. Cultural Mormonism includes a lifestyle promoted by the Mormon institutions, and includes cultural Mormons who identify with the culture, but not necessarily the theology. Despite this modern reality, for much of its history—from the mid-1800s until 1978—the Church did not ordain men of black African descent to its priesthood or allow black men or women to participate in temple endowment or sealing ordinances. The LDS Church has two sets of groups, 1 is called the FLDS, now if the sounds familiar, its the group that the Outlaw Prophet Warren Jeffs was the Leader of. Jeff was later convicted of two felony counts of child sexual assault in 2011, in Utah, and eight additional counts in two separate cases, including incest and sexual conduct with minors, in Arizona, and Texas. The second group now controls the Church, this group follows the worship guidelines, NO drinking, smoking, premarital sex, and must attend Church services every Sunday. On the surface it look like any other Church Congregation through out the Country. Well the FLDS where banned from the Church because of there views and relocated to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Southern Utah. The FLDS settled here in Provo, they are the original settlers here in to there Valley, so they are in fact the four fathers of the LDS church. The F in FLDS stands for Fundamentalist, and not to pull a page from Tim Duncan, "The Big Fundamental", is, and for years has been the backbone of the San Antonio Spurs. There view as they pertain to blacks and minorities, still remain alive today in Utah. They believe that blacks are to be held to cook, clean, and work without pay, in this life and the after life. The first time we hear about the curse of dark, or black, skin in the Book of Mormon is 2 Nephi 5:21. It is said that God cursed the Lamanites with black skin so they would not be enticing unto the Nephites. Brigham Young University was established on Oct.16, 1875, and is where the "Original Mormon", aka FLDS congregation educated their Children. The German and Bavarian influence is very prominent in the Academic Curriculum at BYU. Simply put weather it is FLDS, or LDS they cannot avoid the similarities. Current Church President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, joined the church in Zwickau, Germany. Even though the radical racist Fundamentalists have been banned from the church, you cant deny the families of the original FLDS Pioneers way of life, and their political views that have been passed down from generation to generation. There views are very radical when it comes to blackness, and other minorities. Provo is to Mormons is what Mecca is to Muslims, there Holy Land, to be kept and upheld, the same way it has always been, Segregated. BYU is a private school, so in order to pay the bills, they rely on money from Alumni, and income generated through sporting events. Note that sports is not the sole money maker, but who can deny the financial value it has to the school, as well as every other University that participates in College Athletics. When I arrived in Provo, as many the people I became enamored with the Athletic department, and being that I had a father who was on the staff at Mizzou in 1983. When BYU and Mizzou played in the Holiday Bowl, I was in awe of the whole University. In fact my whole career I played Parks and Recreation football. I wore a BYU practice Jersey, from 6th grade to 8th grade I wore a Todd Christensen's Jersey, if you don’t know, he was an outstanding player who played at BYU and then went on to the Raiders, and for those who do know, if you couldn’t score with Bo Jackson on the old Tecmo Bowl Nintendo Football game, you threw it to Tight End Todd Christensen. Deep down I have respect and admiration for BYU. I have been on Campus many times, and can feel the tug of war, between up holding of the tradition, of the four fathers of the university, versus the an enlightened point of views and doing the right thing. Its seems to me that the good people of this County are being held hostage by, dare I say old guard of the University and Community. While on Campus I have found, as you will on every American Universities, a level of Architecture that is quit disturbing. I was very alarmed by these sculptures and being that Missouri has been under the nations watchful eye last year over race relations. I believe Missouri should not participate in the football game at arrowhead stadium on Nov. 14th 2015 and should reevaluate the circumstances. Between 2013 and now Missouri had had the most diverse campus in the Univ. history, according to Sam Levin of www.DAILYRFT.com. In the aftermath of the Sigma Alpha Epslion video from the Univ. of Oklahoma chapter. This is the reason why this game can not go on and not condone or support this type of curriculum at an institution of higher learning.

Those players who were threatening to "strike" and not play should have had their scholarships revoked and if they couldn't pay their tuition they should have been removed from school grounds as trespassers. What is wrong with you that you think children should be in control of the school? It is sad but as a life long Mizzou fan and supporter after this I truly hop your team loses EVERY game for the next 5 years and you coach are left out of work and dejected in the way you just destroyed Tim Wolfe's life. Scott Chick 920 Bradford Ct.

I am writing to express my displeasure at how the University of Missouri has handled recent events on campus. I have always been filled with pride at having attended and graduated from Mizzou, but I am sad to say that our school has become a joke in the eyes of the national public and that I am embarrassed to hold a degree from this institution. While I personally did not witness any racially-fueled incidents during my time at Mizzou from 2012-2015, I will not argue that these instances certainly could have occurred, and if so, should certainly be remedied. I support the university's attempts to create dialogue on this issue and to provide diversity training. However, Mizzou has made countless mistakes in handling the situation. Giving in to the demands of the student group with the resignation of President Wolfe was the worst decision the school could have made in this situation. This set a precedent that student groups can protest and the administration will immediately give in to their demands. This has already been demonstrated as the university immediately gave in to the students’ demands for the resignation of Chancellor Loftin shortly after President Wolfe’s resignation. What’s next, will the school meet the student group's demand for the percentage of black faculty and staff members to increase by ten percent, which is an unconstitutional race quota? There are numerous others on campus whose resignation would have been much more appropriate. Perhaps the professors, who are being paid with the hard-earned money of students and alums to teach, but refused to hold classes yesterday. Perhaps Gary Pinkel, who is being paid handsomely to coach the football team but according to the news conference yesterday, not only supported the striking but refused to allow willing players to play. Or most importantly, perhaps Janna Basler, Greek Life and Leadership Assistant Director, and Melissa Click, a communications professor, who were caught on camera berating a student journalist and attempting to prevent him from being on the quad photographing the protestors. As a school employees, these ladies are state actors attempting to restrict free speech, and this could easily lead to a lawsuit against the school. These are the people who should have been forced to resign. I am appalled at the actions taken by the university. This afternoon I will be attending a conference hosted by the Tennessee Bar Association, where I know Mizzou's actions will be a hot topic of conversation, and I dread having to disclose that Mizzou is my alma matter. I am ashamed to say that I graduated from the University of Missouri. The school has completely lost my support. I will be revoking the pledge I made upon graduation, and will not be making any future monetary donations. I know I am not the only alum who feels this way, and I hope that the university will make better decisions in the future. One day I hope I can be proud of my school again. Sincerely, Amber Lampe Peters, Esq. From: To: Subject: Date: Jon Rhoades, Mack An embarrassed alum Monday, November 09, 2015 1:01:57 PM It would be interesting to see what would happen if a Caucasian student would go on a hunger strike until Gary Pinkel resigns or is fired. I hope thousands upon thousands of Mizzou fans join me in boycotting support of the football team from here on out. My wife and I and two daughters attended Mizzou and we are done with the football team and the weak weak weak Mizzou administration.

Subject: Football players on strike for what? Chancellor Loftin, President Wolfe, Director of Athletics Rhoades, Vice Chancellor Scroggs, Associate Vice Chancellor McCubbin, Head Coach Pinkel, and Board of Curators Members, We are more than appalled with the current situation at the University of Missouri in regards to the 30 black football players and head coach aligning themselves "in solidarity" with UM graduate student Jonathon Butler. These football players most likely have signed contracts with the university requiring that they keep a specific GPA and play football in order to receive scholarship monies. They are violating their contracts by their actions. Apparently Mr. Butler has decided to starve himself until UM President Tim Wolfe resigns over a series of "incidents" that Mr. Butler has determined are offensive, including an alleged racial slur towards a UM student government member, state law that prevents Planned Parenthood from performing abortions on campus, and a human feces swastika drawn on a campus restroom. Of course none of these incidents have anything to do with President Wolfe. It has not been determined if the human swastika may have been drawn by the graduate student Mr. Butler himself since similar hoaxes such as these have been reported. The University is being terrorized and bullied by a self proclaimed social justice activist who is engaging in typical community organizer and communist Saul Alinsky tactics. It would not surprise us in the least if Mr. Butler is being coached and directed by someone within the Black Lives Matter movement that is intentionally creating racial division and uprisings across America. What the University of Missouri administration must do is stand up to the social justice bullies and stop the politically correct madness. The black football players should be told to honor their contracts or risk losing their scholarships. Mr. Butler needs to focus on his graduate academic studies instead of creating division and mayhem within the campus, especially since it has not been determined if he drew the fecal swastika himself as a deliberate attention getting maneuver no different from his choice to go on a hunger strike. Stand strong against tyranny and mob rule, stand for truth. Thank you.

I know that you are probably swamped right now, but if I may make a request. I am a national correspondent for The New York Times who covers issues of race and I would like to talk to you regarding some of the work of the student athlete group Mizzou Men for Men. I know everyone really wants to talk about the ins and outs of the decision by the players to protest, but I assure you that my story is not about that. I am taking a much broader, step back look at what life is like for students of color on the Mizzou campus, and I believe it is crucial to include the experiences of student-athletes in that, as their experiences often have their own nuances that are different from the student body as a whole. To that end, if you could give me a few moments of your time, or perhaps put me in touch with another mentor who works with the Men for Men group, I would greatly appreciate it.

I wish the outcome of the game had been better but so it goes. It is ironic our visit occurred on the eve of an escalation of the hunger strike thing and so you find yourself embroiled in your first real controversy. I will venture an opinion for what its worth. First, I would say stay away from any public expression on the merits. Your focus should be on your athletes. I would hazard a guess that most of your alumni/donor class (admittedly mostly white people) would not be that sympathetic to the students: the whole “black lives matters” movement is repugnant to most in that class springing as it does out of the whole Ferguson episode and the descriptions of specific grievances here seem pretty vague. Especially the swastika episode in the reports I’ve read seems to have lacked any specific target—are we expressing solidarity w our Jewish brothers or what? However, this is now obviously a matter of near irrational emotional fervor and your athletes have become involved. And now the President has been fired over the least transgression—a terrible over-reaction reflecting, in my view, political correctness on steroids. Beware… as the AD could become a juicy target very quickly which in turn counsels toward keeping your head down. I suppose this has moved so quickly that decisions are being made way above your pay grade anyway. But if I am any barometer on the views of the vast majority of your alumni/donor class and especially those concentrated in St. Louis who have been close to the whole Ferguson controversy, you risk significant alienation in that class by the appearance of capitulation. I respect, even if I don’t understand, the emotional fervor of your black athletes. And perhaps some leeway for youthful enthusiasm is appropriate. But excusing much in the way of normal practices etc or even forfeiting the BYU game would be way over the top. At some point, we have to expect our athletes to fulfill their obligations or risk their scholarships. I would give the Chancellor the same message with respect to his faculty. Our athletic department, not to mention the University as a whole, can’t be so fragile that it completely breaks down over one committed hunger striker no matter the cause. And I think the University does a very good job w/ socio-cultural issues anyway and should not be cowed into defensiveness. Accordingly, you would have my full support if a line is drawn some time and some where soon which requires those employed by or beneficiaries of the University to show up and perform as expected. Even at the risk of losing some of your best athletes—the loss would be short term and you would recover. But failing to stand up in your own defense, especially after a scalp has now been sacrificed, risks much longer term consequences. Best regards--Scott Scott J. Arnold Principal Iron Tree Capital LLC 404-891-1240 (o)/891-1248 direct 678-570-3796 (m) sarnold@irontreecapital.com Note our new office address as of 1/8/15 Ponce City Market 675 Ponce de Leon Avenue 7th Floor Atlanta, GA 30308 From: To: Subject: Date: Jason Schmitz Rhoades, Mack Fwd: Disappointment in Mizzou Athletics Leadership Tuesday, November 10, 2015 9:50:05 AM To Whom It May Concern, I write you today first and foremost to express my deep disappointment in the response from Mizzou Athletics in regards to the ongoing situation occurring right now at the University of Missouri. I write to you as a fellow alumnus (BS, College of Engineering, 2008), former employee (Division of IT, 2008 - 2014), and multiple season ticket holder and TSF donor. I also write to inform you as of this moment, I will be no longer be renewing any of my season tickets for the upcoming seasons, nor will I be donating another penny to the University of Missouri in any capacity. As I reflect on the storm of events over the last 72 hours, I can't help but feel that a part of the pride and support for a university that I love dearly died today. My underlying feeling is that my university just caved to a group of extremists and allowed mob rule to win. When you look at this Concerned Student 1950 group, they have done nothing to foster debate regarding race relations in Columbia, Missouri. Their approach to discussions with President Wolfe was to surround him at a public parade and expect him to immediately begin reasoned discourse with them. They ambush him on the street (while taunting him) to press him on the definition of systematic oppression. Systematic racism would be defined by some institutionalized policy against people of certain color, I know for a fact throughout my 10+ years as a student and employee of the University of Missouri, I did not witness one instance where color played a role in any of the decisions made by administrators or personnel of the University. This groups concerns are varied and wide- racism, Planned Parenthood, GA compensation / health care. However it seems a few isolated incidents of hatred and stupidity by unknown individuals on campus became their rallying cry. They fail to articulate how any of their concerns have anything to do with Wolfe, Loftin or any policy of the University. Their list of demands is at best haphazard, and at worst, completely racist. Arbitrary demands on what percentage of administrators or students need to be a certain color is racism at its most basic definition. They fail to make any correlation to the proposed solutions in their demands and how it will provide any type of solution to isolated incidents of racism they claim are systematic. These are not the type of people the University or the Athletics department should be supporting. We should be teaching young adults to confront racism and bigotry head one and directly when it happens, not to demand the removal of some arbitrary administrator that has never shown in his life to harbor feelings of racism. All anyone has learned from this is inciting anger and rage, then arbitrarily calling individuals racists is a good strategy to get innocent people fired from the job they worked their entire life to earn. To these ends, I cannot support this group what so ever. They do not promote the values of Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, Or Excellence. They promote hate, division and less understanding between people of different skin color. I know being a person of average means from an average family will not create any sort of impact to your operations, but I do want my opinion noted. I also know I am not the only person who feels this way, and I hope there are others writing you along these lines. I hope Memorial Stadium is as empty as it can be for the last home football game this year, maybe that will help your leadership understand submitting to mob demands when the substance of their argument is so lacking is now how you teach students to be leaders.

Please request your coach to support the University and President not the students. This is not the way to bring about change and has the potential to create a bigger issue with other universities in the future! Please read and forward on to Mr. Pinkel! Jim Grubbs Begin forwarded message: From: Jim Grubbs Subject: Support for the University and Tim Wolfe Date: November 9, 2015 at 11:27:04 AM EST To: PinkelG@missouri.edu Gary, you are employed by the university not the students. You need to stand in support of your President/Univeristy not your players. Players have a right to protest and boycott if they so choose but then you have the right to retract their scholarships. This has gone too far and you need to keep things in perspective and support your university and strive to encourage change in the right way! It is embarrassing that the media is showing you supporting the players and not supporting the President and the University. Please reconsider the way you are handling this issue.

My name is D'Andre Boles and I'm a student at the University of west Georgia. I'm doing a project for my Public Relations class and due to the brave and rightful protest from the players of your universities football team I have chose to write about them. I have one question, if there a process to which one would have to go through to invite your football teams head coach and players to an event. If so could you contact me back as soon as possible at dboles2@my.westga.edu Best Regards, D'Andre From: To: Subject: Date: Eric Turner Rhoades, Mack M y wife (Angela"s) thoughts Monday, November 09, 2015 1:21:12 PM Mack: Here is my wife’s post on here FB page. Thought you would be interested in reading it. I am sure there are people on both sides of this issue but here's my two cents worth: It is a sad day today in COMO & throughout all of the "ZOU Nation". I fully support one's right to peacefully protest, to hunger strike if that's how you choose to attempt to affect change, petition & chant to your heart's content BUT at no time should you hold hostage an entire institution! To Tim Wolfe: you should NEVER have resigned your position! It is NOT up to the students, faculty or... even the football team who the Board of Curators hires! How in the world does your resignation change the current racially charged climate at Mizzou? Is that apparently uneducated, uncivilized student yelling out racial slurs going to just stop b/c you resigned? Uhmmm.... No! Do you or anyone else think the demands & ultimatums will just magically stop & it'll all be rainbows & glitter now? Uhmmm... No! I completely understand a group of students & faculty deciding there needs to be some changes (aren't these the same things going on everywhere & needing to be changed everywhere?!!) & I even agree with sitting down & drawing up a list of proposed ways to help make the situation better, safer & more stable but at NO TIME should a group of students, faculty & esp NOT the football team be allowed to dictate who does or doesn't have a job! Where does it stop?!!! Now that you've resigned who is next?!!! All you've done is send a clear message to the students, faculty & athletes that they get to dictate how & when things are done NOT the Board of Curators, NOT the President of the University System, NOT the Deans, NOT the Athletic Director & the list goes on..... Furthermore, now the daunting task of finding a new President must begin & who in the world (actually qualified & sane!) would want this job after what just occurred?!! To those who demanded the resignation, did you really stop & think about what happens now?!!! The future of Mizzou?!! Several posts are showing up everywhere of students who were planning to attend Mizzou beginning next Fall but are now planning to look elsewhere! What about future recruits? What about future faculty & other staff? What kind of quality, qualified staff/faculty/recruits/students want to come in to this mess?!!! I suggest if you really want to affect change & make real differences you stop acting like spoiled brats throwing a tantrum any 3 yr old would be envious of & actually look at the bigger picture, think long term & create REAL solutions, not just more problems!!! Like I said, it's a sad, sad day for all of the "ZOU" nation (& unfortunately I fear it's just the beginning)! All the best!! Eric From: To: Date: Attachments: Rhoades, Mack Matthew, Sandy K.

I did not contribute so the student athletes could protest and threaten not to play. I will no longer contribute and purchase season tickets. I would like to have my contributions refunded.

W - 33-20 #MIZZDUSTORYLINES MIZZOU BACK STEPS OUT OF CONFERENCE, RETURNS TO KANSAS CITY TO FACE BYU • Mizzou Football will step out of SEC play for the final time during the 2015 regular season to play host to Brigham Young in a neutral site meeting at Arrowhead Stadium, home the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs, Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network. Mizzou last played at Arrowhead in 201 1. defeating archrival Kansas. 24-10, in the program's final year in the Big 12. Saturday will be Mizzou's first appearance at Arrowhead since joining the SEC. In all, Mizzou is 5-1 in games played at Arrowhead Stadium under head coach Gary Pinke/ and Mizzou is 5-2 all-time at Arrowhead, which opened in 1972. • Saturday's game with BYU will be the second meeting ever between the two teams and the first in the regular season as the only other meeting came in the 1983 Holiday Bowl. BYU, quarterbacked by Pro Football Hall of Farner Steve Young, edged Mizzou on a TD in the final minute. winning 21-17. Current Mizzou Associate Head Coach Andy Hill was a member of that year's team. A further breakdown of the game is located on page seven. • As Mizzou heads to Arrowhead, it will look to cap a perfect non-conference slate in 2015. Mizzou is 3-0 this season out of SEC play with wins over Southeast Missouri. Connecticut and a true road win at Arkansas State. In fact, since joining the SEC in 2012. M izzou is 13-2 in non-conference games with wins over the likes of Arizona State. UCF. Indiana and Toledo. Under Gary Pinke/ w ho is now in his 15th season at the helm, Mizzou is 53-16 in non-conference games (including Bowl games). Excluding bowl games. Mizzou is 46-12 in regular season non-conference games. • Mizzou is coming off of a loss to then #20-ranked M ississippi State lastThursday (Nov. 5). 31-13. in a rare Thursday Night game at Memorial Stadium. Mizzou had been brilliant against the pass all season. but MSU OB Oak Prescott tossed for fourTDs in the win. Mizzou ran for a season-high 215 yards in the loss. highlighted by both /sh Witter and Tyler Hunt each breaking 80 yards. Mizzou trailed at the half by just one at 14-13 after a 14-yardTD scamper by senior RB Russell Hansbrough, but Mississippi State shut M izzou out in the second half and took advantage of big plays to put the game away. A complete breakdown of the game is located on page seven. • As we move into the final three weeks of the season. it is time to start thinking about All-America and All-Conference accolades for senior LB Kentrell Brothers. The Guthrie, Okla.. native added 14 tackles to his ledger on Thursday, moving his season total to 11 7, the top mark in the nation. He also added a forced fumble and a blocked punt, his third block of the season which is also a national-best. He is 15 tackles ahead of the next-closest tackler in the nation and is 21 ahead of the nextclosest SEC play (Auburn LB Johnathan Ford). Couple that with his 7.STFLs, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions, it's hard to argue that there is a better LB in the nation. fj @MIZZOUFOOTBALL MIZZDU STARTERS RS SO // 6-5 // 310 II PENSACOLA, FLA. • Moved to LT in 2015 • Strongest guy oo team.

Only 14 Tigers (and only 12 running backs) have ever rushed for more than 2.000 yards in a career. Hansbrough is the first Tiger to do so since He11ry Josey in 2013. Hansbrough ran for 62 yards last Thursday vs. MSU, moving him to 2,172. • Hansbrough is the seventh player under head coach Gary Pi11kel to accomplish that feat. Other 2,000-yardrushers under PinkeI include QB Brad Smith {4,289), Zack Abro11 (3,198), He11ry Josey (2,771), To11y Temple (2,552), Kendial Lawre11ce (2,232) and Derrick Wasfli11gto11 (2,085).

In fact, Harris was one of 13 players nationally selected by the Maxwell Club to be added to the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List earlier this month. • Harris joins teammate Ke11trell Brothers (Guthrie, Okla.) as Brothers was on the original Bednarik Award Watch List, which was released in July. Harris ranks fifth nationally and leads the Southeastern Conference with 11 .5 tackles for loss in 201 5. Harris isalso ranked seventh in the SECand among the nation's top 60 in quarterback sacks with 4.0. Harrisrecorded 2.0 sacks at Arkansas State, equaling his career total coming in. He alsoregistered 4.5 tackles for loss (-24 yards) at A-State, which marked the first time a Mizzou defender recorded 4.5 or more tackles for loss in a game since Stryker Sulak had 5.0 TFLs vs. Illinois Aug. 30, 2008. • Harris is fourth on the team and leads Mizzou defensive linemen with has 46 tackles (26 solo) with a team-high 17.0 tackles for loss (-80 yards), 7.0 sacks (-51 yards), six QB hurries and two forced fumbles through eight games. Harris is a big 8 reason why Mizzou leads the SEC while ranking third nationally with 83 total tackles for loss with at least seven in each game. Harris has had multiple tackles for loss in seven of Mizzou's nine games this season and he is averaging -4.7 yards per TFLthis season. FATONY NAMED TO RAY GUY WATCH LIST • Mizzou Football's true freshman punter Corey Fato11y {Franklin, Tenn.) has been named a candidate for the Ray Guy Award, as announced last Friday by the Augusta Sports Council. The award honors the nation's top punter and Fatony is one of just six freshmen punters on the watch list. This is the second time this season that Fatony has been recognized by the Augusta Sports Council after taking home Ray Guy National Player of the Week honors following Mizzou's game vs. Florida on Oct. 10. • Fatony ranks 201h nationally in punting, averaging 44.1yards per punt on 61 punts, a mark that ranks fourth-nationally. His 44.1 yards per punt average - which is on pace to be Mizzou's fourth-best single season mark - is the best mark nationally among freshmen punters. Fatony is a big reason why Mizzou ranks 18th nationally in net punting. • The list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists to be announced on November 13. Following the semifinalists announcement. a national body of Football Bowl Subdivision {FBS) sports information directors, coaches, media representatives and previous Ray Guy Award winners will vote for the top three finalists, who will be identified on November 23. The voting body will then cast ballots to select the winner. • The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured live on ESPN during The Home Depot College Football Awards, Thursday, December 10, at 7pm. BAGGETT 19 POINTS SHY OF MIZZOU CAREER RECORD • Heading into Saturday's game, Mizzou senior PK Andrew Baggett sits just 19 points shy of breaking Jeff Wolfert's career record for points scored. Baggett has 334 points in his career (63 field goals. 155 PATs). • Last time out vs. MSU, Baggett connected on one of two FGattempts, moving his career total to 63. That is ahead former Tiger kicker Jeff Wolfert for theall-time career FG record at Mizzou. Wolfert (2DD6-08) had 59 inhis years as the Tiger kicker. • In hiscareer. Baggett has turned in two of the best point-scoring season totals in Mizzou history. His 120 points in 2013 rank fourth all-time at Mizzou while his97 total points a season ago rank 14th. HOLDING ONTO THE ROCK • Mizzou is coming off of a school-record performance in 2D14 when it comes to ball security. Mizzou lost just three fumbles in 2014, the fewest in program history. • Mizzou ran 954 plays in 2014, meaning that the Tigers lost a fumble just once in every 318 plays a season ago. • The lost fumbles were not a case of just getting 'the lucky bounce' either. Mizzou put the ball on the turf just 10 times in 2014 {once every 95 plays). To put how good the 10 fumbles were, Mizzou's opponents fumbledmore than three times as much with 32 fumbles. In fact, Mizzou recovered more fumbles (13) than it committed as a team in 2D14. • The trend has continued in 2015 as Mizzou has lost just zero fumbles in 576 total offensive plays over the first nine games with all three fumbles on special teams. The first fumble was on a punt as the ball hit a player and was recovered by UConn in the thirdgameof the season. The second came as PRCamHilto11 was hit immediately as he fielded the ball, fumbling it away to Georgia. The same thinghappenedat Vanderbilt for Hilton. Mizzou has yet to lose a fumble on an offensive play from scrimmage this season. • Mizzou leads the SEC and is tied for 15th nationally in fumbles lost this season, a stat that head coach Gary Pi11kel and his staff have done a great job reinforcing its importance with their team. BROTHERS OVER 100 TACKLES FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR • There hasn't been a more productive linebacker in the nation so far this season than Mizzou's Kentrell Brothers. With 14 stops vs. Mississippi State last time out Brothers became the first Mizzou LB to post back-to-back 100-tackle seasons since current Arizona Cardinal Sea11 Weatherspoo11, who totalled 155 in 2008 and 111 in 2009. Weatherspoon also posted 13Din 2007 as he accomplished the feat in three consecutive seasons. • Brothers joins Weatherspoon and James Kinney as the only players under head coach Gary Pi11kel with back-to-back 1DD-tackle seasons. • Brothers has broken double-digits in tackles in eight of nine games and has 12-plus tackles in six of nine games, including a career-high 17 at Georgia. GAME 10: BYU AT ARROWHEAD STADIUM - KANSAS CITY, MO. MIZZDU FOOTBALL QUICK STRIKES ... MORE NOTABLES IF IT'S A CLOSE GAME PUTTING THE DEFENSE INTO PERSPECTIVE • While we break down where Mizzou's defensive numbers rank both nationally and in the SECon the next page, it is important to look at some key stats that prove just how dominant Mizzou's defense has been this season. • Mizzou has allowed the third-fewest TOs nationally with just 15, tied with Boston College and Florida. That is a key reason why Mizzou ranks fourth nationally in scoring defense this season. • InGary Pi11kel's 15years on the sideline at Mizzou, theTigers have playedin plenty of close games and the Tigershave a knack for winning those games, especially lately. • Pinkel in his career at Mizzou is 27-24 in games decided by seven points or fewer, including a6-4 mark since 2013 and a 5-2 mark in 2014and 2015. • Mizzou is40-34 ingames decidedby 10 or fewer under Pinkel and 13-8 since joining the SEC, including a 6-2 mark in 2014 anda 1G-5 mark since 2013. DEFENSE TERRIFIES OPPONENTS IN OCTOBER TURNOVER MARGIN IS KEY FOR PINKEL'S TIGERS • Aswe move toweektwo of November. it's time to takea look back at just how good Mizzou's defense was in October. In four games, Mizzou allowed 10 or fewer points in three October contests and the Tigers allowed just 10 scores all month - two in one game against Florida (the third was a pick-six against the Mizzou offense). Mizzou's defense allowed just four TDs throughout the entire month and limited opponents to just 10.75 points per game in that span. DEFENSE DOMINANT AWAY FROM • Defensive coordinator Barry Odom's group has been outstanding all season long and they have been downright salty away home. In four home games this season. Mizzou has allowed just 15 points per game and has allowed just six TDs in four nonhome games. Keep inmind that five of those sixTDs came in the first two road games of the season at Arkansas State and at Kentucky. Since then over the Tigers' last two road games, they haveallowed just one TD and just 19 total points. 10 POINTS OR FEWER ALLOWED IN FIVE OF EIGHT GAMES • Mizzou's defense is on a historic pace so far this season when it comes to keeping the opponent off the scoreboard. Infive of nine games. Mizzou's defensehas limitedits opponents to 10 or fewer points. That is just the second time since 1980 that Mizzou has accomplished that feat - the other was 2010. • In all. Mizzou has limited five opponents to fewer than 10 points in a season 53 times since 1890. butthe majority of those camepriorto1950 (36 of the53occurrences came from 1890-1950). • 2015 marks just the second season under head coach Gary Pinke/that Mizzou has allowed 10 or fewer points in five games. MORE PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEFENSE • Though Mizzou has lost five games this season. the defense has been outstanding in four of those losses. In fact, Mizzou is allowing an average of just 18.4 points per game in those five losses. That is the fourth-best mark (second among teams w/ multiple losses) among defenses nationally in games lost. • Mizzou's first loss came at Kentucky when it allowed 21 points and Florida, ranked 11th at the time, also hung 21 on the Mizzou defense. But in each of the next two losses -at Georgia and at Vanderbilt - Mizzou has allowed just 19 total points and just five scores. MSUlast Thursday was the only teamto hang more than 21 points on the Tigers this season. IF IT GOES TO OVERTIME • Grab your stomach acid medication and hold on tight, as a stellar defense and a knack for playing tight games can be a recipe for overtime. If it does go overtime, Mizzou fans can rest easy, as no program in NCAA history has won more overtime games than the Tigers. Mizzou has played 16 overtime games since the rule came into effect in 1996 (2nd-most behind Tennessee's 17), and the Tigers have come out victorious an NCAA-best 11 times ... • The most OT wins in NCAA history look like this: 1. Mizzou, Tennessee (11 ); 2. Arlcansas (10), 4. Michigan, Northwestern, Syracuse, Utah (9); 8. 10 teams tied (8).. . • Here's a listing of the most OT games played in NCAA history (thru games of Oct. 17)-1. Tennessee (17); 2. Mizzou, Fresno State, Syracuse, Utah (16); 6. Northwestern, Pittsburgh, (15); 8. 7 teams tied (14).. . • Interestingly enough, Mizzou Head Coach Gary Pinke/ has the distinction of coaching in the first overtime game ever played at the FBS level. When Pinkel was skipper for Toledo, his Rockets won the MAC title and faced Nevada in the 1995 Las Vegas Bowl. For the 1995 bowl season, the current overtime rule was put into effect, and the game went to overtime, where Pinkel's Rockets claimed a 40-37 win in one extra period ... • Pinkel is 8-3 alltime at Mizzou in overtime, and he is 1G-3 alltime. including a perfect 2-0 at Toledo • Looking deep into the turnover margin, since Gary Pinke/ took over the Mizzou program in 2001, Mizzou owns a plus-84 advantage in turnover margin (188 games). • Pinkel's teams have won the turnover margin in 87 games. going 71 -1 7 in such contests. Remarkably, 11 of those 16 losses came in Pinkel's first five years as he was rebuilding the program. Starting in 2006, Mizzou is 51-5 when winning the turnover battle. It is no surprise that in that span. Mizzou has won five conference division championships. • Since joining the SEC, Mizzou is 17-2when winning the TD battle including acurrent streak of 10 consecutive wins. While the 10 consecutive wins when winning the TO battlemay seem impressive. it is still just over a third of the way to the school record, which is 29 consecutive wins by Pinkel's crew from 2005-2010. • InPinkel's 188 games as a head coach, Mizzou has either won the TO battle or tied in 138 of those 188 games. Mizzou has won 101 of those 138 games. • Below is a breakdown of games when Mizzou has won the TO battle under Pinkel: Mizzou Record By Turnover Mar gin Under Pinke# (188 games) Turnover Margin +1 Turnover +2 Turnover +3Turnover +4 Turnover +5 Turnover W 25 25 12 6 3 L 13 4 0 0 0 Pct . 65.8% 86.2% 100% 100% 100% PINKEL'S RECORD BY POINTS SCORED • The winningest coach inMizzou history, Gary Pinke/has takena once downtrodden program to one of the nation's most elite programs since 2007.

That being said, the defense is well- represented in the national and SEC rankings so far this season. Below is a look.

Looking deeper into the stats, Harris and Brady have combined to give Miuou one of the most potent DE duos in the nation. In fact, the duo's combined 27.5 tackles for loss (1 7.0 for Harris. 10.5 for Brady) are ahead of the pace set by current NFL players Shane Ray and Markus Golde11, who had 25.5 through nine games a season ago.

Every other player on the list above is either a junior or senior. TIGER DEFENSE STAYING AWAY FROM BIG PLAYS Miuou's defense has done a solid job of keeping opponents in check all season long, as one might surmise, with the Tigers ranking highly in many defensive categories within the SECand nationally. One area where MU has really excelled is limiting long plays fromscrimmage. In 637 defensive snaps through nine games so far, Mizzou has allowed only 26 plays of 20 yards or more, which leads the SECand is 7th the NCAA. Breaking that down further, the Tigers have allowed only six plays of 30 yards or more(a nationalbest), and they have allowed just two plays of 40-plus yards. the second-best mark in the nation, trailing only Northwestern. The Tigers have been the best against the run on denying long plays, as they've allowed only three rushes of 20 yards or more (a national-best mark). 10 Continuing the theme of Mizzou's solid defensive play, we offer the fact that the Tigers have allowed 21 points or less in eight of nine games so far in 201 5, and Mizzou's scoring defense average of 14.6 is tops in the SEC (and ranks 4th nationally)... Before Mississippi State hung 31 on the Tiger defense last Thursday, the Tigers had allowed 21 or fewer points in 9 consecutive games overall, which was the longest such streak at Miuou since Warren Powers' Tigers achieved that in 12 straight games spanning the 1981-82 seasons. That streak began on Oct. 24. 1981, with a 6-0 loss to#15 Nebraska, and continued through Oct. 16, 1982, with a 17-1 7 tie against Iowa State. The 12-game string was broken. albeit barely, on Oct. 23, 1982, with a 23-19 loss at#5 Nebraska... INDIVIDUAL NOTABLES LB Kentrell Brothers had a career-high 17 tackles at Georgia. His 17 tackles broke hisprevious career-high of 16, set twice earlier this season. The 17 tackles are also tied for the second-most by a Tiger in the PinkeI era. Brothers now has four of the top-seven tackling performances in the Pinkel era with all four coming this season (17 at UGA. 16 vs. SEMO, Arkansas State, 15 vs. Florida). He followed the UGA performance with 12 tackles last time out at Vanderbilt abd 14 last week vs. MSU. He now has 12 or more tackles in six of nine games and has broken double-digit tackles in eight of nine games. Brothers has 11 7 tackles (61 solo). 7.5 TFLs (-24 yards). 2 INTs (returned 9 yards). three blocked kicks and one pass broken up through nine games. His 11 7 tackles lead the nation as do his 13.0 tackles per game. Mizzou's single season tackles record is 164 by Travis McDonald(1994). His 11 7 tackles this season are already the 19th-most by a Tiger with three regular season games remaining. Brothers has 147 tackles over his last 12 games (12.25 avg.). Brothers' 2-interception performance at Arkansas State was the first for Miuou since S Bray/011 Webb picked off two passes at Florida on Oct. 18, 2014. It marked the 11th time a Miuou defender has recorded two or more picks over the last 18 years. Brothers is just the third linebacker to gain that distinction, joining LB Sean Weatherspoon (2 vs. Illinois on Aug. 30, 2008) and LB Brandon Barnes (2 vs. Texas Tech on Oct. 25, 2003). Brothers is the first Mizzou player under Gary Pi11kel to post four consecutive games with at least 10 tackles before seeing that streak snapped against South Carolina. It is worth noting that Brothers was nursing an injured ankle in that game, suffered the previous outing against Kentucky. Against Florida, Georgia. Vanderbilt and MSU over the last four weeks, he looked like the Brothers from the first four weeks, hauling in a team-high 60 tackles in that span. He has four games with 15+ tackles in 2015. DE Charles Harris recorded 2.0 sacks at Arkansas State. equaling his career total coming in He also registered 4.5 tackles for loss (-24 yards) at A-State, which marked the first time a Mizzou defender recorded 4.5 or more tackles for loss in a game since LB Stryker Sulak has 5.0 TFLs vs. Illinois Aug. 30, 2008 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Harris has 46 tackles (26 solo), 17.0 tackles for loss (-80 yards). 7.0 sacks (-51 yards). six QB hurries and two forced fumbles through eight games. He had a careerhigh nine tackles with a sack at Georgia and followed that with six tackles. three TFL and a strip sack at Vanderbilt. He had two tackles, 1.5 TFLs, a sack and 2 QBHs vs. MSU last time out. Harris is 2nd nationally and 1st in the SECin tackles for loss through nine games. DE Walter Brady recorded his first 2.0 career sacks (-10 yards) vs. UConn. His7.0 sacks {20th-most nationally) and tops among freshmen nationally.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTABLES PINKEL ON DODD TROPHY WATCH LIST • Mizzou football head coach Gary Pi11kel was one of 23 head coaches to be named to the Dodd Trophy Preseason Watch List. announced July 10 by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Pinkel is one of eight SECcoaches to land on the list. which is designed to recognize the nation's top head coach. • The list includes 23 of the nation's top college football coaches representing all Power 5 conferences, the Mountain West Conference and Notre Dame. The head coaches on the watch list represent programs with the highest ideals of leadership, scholarship and integrity on and off the field - the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd's philosophy. Each coach sits at the helm of programs with winning records, superior Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and graduation rates. along with a strong commitment to service within their respective communities. • PinkeI is the reigning SECCoach of the Year and has led Mizzou to five conference division titles in the last eight seasons (2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014). which is tied for the best in the nation in that span. Miuou has won 78 games since 2007, which ties OhioState for the fifth-most winsnationally in that span. PinkeI is the winningest coach in Mizzou history (11 7-67) and is the 19th-winningest coach in FBS history. • Not only have Pinkel's teams seen tremendous success on the field, but they have excelled in the classroom. In 2013 and 2014. Pinkel's teams have ranked in the NCAA top 10 in APR. The Tigers were third in the SEC in APR in 201 5 and led the league in 2014. A 'BARRY' INTIMIDATING GROUP • Mizzou's defense has become one of the most feared groups in the SEC and this year. the group will have a new leader as DC Barry Odomreturns to Mizzou after a successful stint as the DC at Memphis. Odom. 38. as he takes over for Dave Steckel. who left to be head coach at Missouri State following the conclusion of Mizzou's 2014 season. • Odom has been defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Memphis for the past three seasons. where he has orchestrated an impressive body of work by the Tiger defense. Memphis concluded a 10-3 season that was fueled largely by Odom's defense which ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense (17.1 ppg) and 22nd in total defense (343.3 ypg) heading into bowl season. That marked an astounding incremental improvement, as Memphis ranked 11 7th nationally in total defense in 201 1 prior to Odom assuming the reins. In 2012. Odom's first year. the Tiger defense improved to 50th nationally in total defense (383.6 ypg), followed by a jump to 39th in 2013 (370.7 ypg). Memphis earned a share of the 2014 American Athletic Conference title. giving them a conference championship for the first time since 1971. • It'sa homecoming for Odom as he returns to his alma mater. wherehe starred as a linebacker for Mizzou from 1996-99 and later returned for a nine-year stint (2003-11 ) in a variety of roles for Pinkel's staff. He first came back in 2003 as an administrative graduate assistant. and after one year in that role. Odom moved to director of recruiting for the 2004 and 2005 seasons and then served three years (2006-08) as director of football operations. • In 2009, Odom moved to the coaching side of the ledger, as Pinkel's safeties coach for three seasons where he developed Ke11ji Jackso11, Jarrell Harriso11 and Jasper Simmo11s into All-Big 12 performers for Tiger teams which won 26 games in those three years. Odomalso played a significant role in recruiting, as he was the lead on many highly-regarded prospects who chose to attend Miuou. BACK-TO-BACK • Miuou has won the SEC East in back-to-back seasons and that accomplishment has put Miuou in some pretty elite company. Since 2001 . Miuou joins Alabama. Georgia, Florida and Tennessee as the only SEC teams to win two consecutive SEC division titles. Four programs in the SEC(Kentucky, Ole Miss. Texas A&M and Vanderbilt) have never won an SEC Division Championship and Mizzou has done so twice in its first three seasons • Miuou's 23 wins over 2013 and 2014are fifth nationally, trailing onlyFlorida State(27), Ohio State (26). Michigan State (24) and Oregon (24). • Since 2007. Miuou has claimed five conference division titles (three Big 12North titles and two SEC East titles). the most in the nation during that span. • All of those division-winning seasons ended with at least 10 wins as five of Mizzou's six 10-win seasons inprogram history have come under the direction of Gary Pinke/. • In each of the last two seasons. Mizzou has clinched the SEC East at home with wins over SECWest powers Texas A&M (2013) and Arkansas (2014). Each division title seemed equally asj mprobable to national pundits, but Mizzou defied the odds each ¥ear. In 2013, 12 Miuou was coming off of a disappointing 2012 campaign in which it went 5-7. But the Tigers rebounded for a 12-2 season. ranking as high as No. 5 nationally and culminating in an AT&TCotton Bowl Classic win over Oklahoma State. Last year. Miuou won its final six regular season games despite being underdogs in four of those sixgames. The season ended with an 11-3mark anda Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl Championship. "MO"VEMBER • There is no question that in college football, teams that win in November often are destined for championships and Miuou Football has been the perfect reflection of that over the last two years. Since 2013. Mizzou is a perfect 8-0 in the month of November. REMEMBERING 'A0' 10 YEARS LATER • The 201 5 season marks the 10-year anniversary of the tragic passing of Aaro11 O'Neal, a linebacker on the 2005 Mizzou Football team who passed away at the age of 19 following a voluntary workout. O'Neal may be gone. but he has not been forgotten by anyone in the Mizzou community and his memory lives on with Gary PinkeI and the program 10 years later. • Gary Pinkel has done his best to help the program remember O'Neal. the man with the 'million-dollar smile' as he was renowned. Every year. a linebacker from the St. Louis area - where O'Neal called home -will don O'Neal's 125. Currently, that bestowment belongs to sophomore LB Oo11avi11 Newsom; he will wear it for the remainder of his career and pass along to another St. Louis LB. Newsom. just like O'neal, graduated from Parkway North High School in St. Louis. Mo. ,.._ d BOEHM, DENNIS, HANSBROUGH, SIMON CAPTAINS • Inits annual tradition.

RB Russell Ha11sbrough and S la11 Simo11. • The four seniors were selected by their teammates and have combined to play in 129 games. including a combined 77 starts. The seniors have helped Miuou win 28 games over the last three seasons and were key cogs in Mizzou's back-to-back SEC East Championships over the last two seasons. 10 TIGERS PLAYING AFTER EARNING DEGREES • When Mizzou hits the field for the first time in 201 5, 10 Tiger seniors will be playing having already earned their degrees.

I am a late 1960’s Syracuse football player that actively boycotted our team, with other fellow black players, for reasons similar to yours... I was so moved by the way the coaching-staff, students, faculty and players seemed to join in great solidarity against obvious racism. Your situation gives me great hope that our sacrifice was not in vain...We just had a book written and released about our boycott. Please take the opportunity to read below. And please give this e-mail to the football coaching staff and thank them for their courage in the midst of national adversity....thank-you.

If there is only one book to read this year, this is it. It will enlighten the reader about the historical, unfolding saga essentially of the appalling experiences endured and the sacrifices made to create a better future on and off the field for African American athletes and others. “ —Joseph Cangemi, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Western Kentucky University “Leveling the Playing Field is a lesson in the costs and rewards when individuals and small groups of people stand for dignity in the face of in- transigent institutions and sometimes mean-spirited authority. The story of the Syracuse Eight would not have been complete without this book.” —Douglas P. Biklen, Dean Emeritus, School of Education, Syracuse University Leveling the Playing Field tells the story of the African American members of the 1969–70 Syracuse University football team who petitioned for racial equality on their team. The petition had four demands: access to the same academic tutoring made available to their white teammates; better medical care for all team mem- bers; starting assignments based on merit rather than race; and a discernible ef- fort to racially integrate the coaching staff, which had been all white since 1898. The players’ charges of racial disparity were fiercely contested by many of the white players on the team, and the debate spilled into the newspapers and drew protests from around the country. The players who signed the petition did not receive a response allowing or even acknowledging their demands. They boycotted the spring 1970 practice, and Coach Ben Schwartzwalder, a deeply beloved figure on campus and a Hall of Fame football coach nearing retirement, banned seven of the players from the team. As tensions escalated, white players staged a day-long walkout in support of the coaching staff, and an enhanced police presence was required at home games. Extensive interviews with each player offer a firsthand account of their decision to stand their ground while knowing it would jeopardize their professional football career. They discuss with candor the ways in which the boycott profoundly changed the course of their lives. In Leveling the Playing Field, Marc chronicles this contentious moment in Syracuse University’s history and tells the story through the eyes of the players who demanded change for themselves and for those who would follow them. David Marc is the author of numerous books, including Bonfire of the Humanities Television, Subliteracy, and LongTerm Memory Loss.

Rhoades, Mack RE: our visit and hunger boycott Monday, November 09, 2015 1:02:30 PM Thanks—I think it is worth reminding the world that at least from an athletic dept perspective, in the arena of socio-cultural affairs, we are the gold standard; see Michael Sam. I think we can be rhetorically supportive, but only to a point. I could make the argument that this particular case does not merit even that but for the apparent strong feelings of some of the athletes which counts for something. And why work hard in these areas as the administration does when it doesn’t count for anything when an issue erupts? Btw—as you know, one of my sons played football at Virginia and my business partner is a very prominent alum/donor there. So I have had inside perspective of similar (but different) tumult there. The president over-reacted to the initial story which has had long-lasting repercussions. S Scott J.

I wish the outcome of the game had been better but so it goes. It is ironic our visit occurred on the eve of an escalation of the hunger strike thing and so you find yourself embroiled in your first real controversy. I will venture an opinion for what its worth. First, I would say stay away from any public expression on the merits. Your focus should be on your athletes. I would hazard a guess that most of your alumni/donor class (admittedly mostly white people) would not be that sympathetic to the students: the whole “black lives matters” movement is repugnant to most in that class springing as it does out of the whole Ferguson episode and the descriptions of specific grievances here seem pretty vague. Especially the swastika episode in the reports I’ve read seems to have lacked any specific target—are we expressing solidarity w our Jewish brothers or what? However, this is now obviously a matter of near irrational emotional fervor and your athletes have become involved. And now the President has been fired over the least transgression—a terrible over-reaction reflecting, in my view, political correctness on steroids. Beware… as the AD could become a juicy target very quickly which in turn counsels toward keeping your head down. I suppose this has moved so quickly that decisions are being made way above your pay grade anyway. But if I am any barometer on the views of the vast majority of your alumni/donor class and especially those concentrated in St. Louis who have been close to the whole Ferguson controversy, you risk significant alienation in that class by the appearance of capitulation. I respect, even if I don’t understand, the emotional fervor of your black athletes. And perhaps some leeway for youthful enthusiasm is appropriate. But excusing much in the way of normal practices etc or even forfeiting the BYU game would be way over the top. At some point, we have to expect our athletes to fulfill their obligations or risk their scholarships. I would give the Chancellor the same message with respect to his faculty. Our athletic department, not to mention the University as a whole, can’t be so fragile that it completely breaks down over one committed hunger striker no matter the cause. And I think the University does a very good job w/ socio-cultural issues anyway and should not be cowed into defensiveness. Accordingly, you would have my full support if a line is drawn some time and some where soon which requires those employed by or beneficiaries of the University to show up and perform as expected. Even at the risk of losing some of your best athletes—the loss would be short term and you would recover. But failing to stand up in your own defense, especially after a scalp has now been sacrificed, risks much longer term consequences. Best regards--Scott Scott J.

The half-day, facilitated session includes representatives from the protesters, players, coaches, athletic department and administration. The group completes the following continuousimprovement process: Group assesses what's currently working and not working - one hour Identify the group's goal, four key initiatives that achieve it, four initiatives' team members and team leaders - one hour Each of the four teams plan the implementation and evaluation for their key initiative one hour Each team presents, discusses and reaches agreement on its plan with the other three teams - one hour Group decides on date for first implementation evaluation meeting - 15 minutes You and all the group members will be delighted with the results of this session because collectively the group moves quickly and effectively from the problem to the solutions. I'll call you on your cell phone at 9:00 AM to discuss this recommendation.

The official reason was, "we didn’t want to deal with a bunch of drunk white guys" after a Mizzou loss. They are saying that Mizzou is a "racist" institution. First of all institutions can’t exhibit human characteristics, only individuals can. But the president and chancellor let that statement go unchallenged. They should have pointed that fact out to the idiots and then made a simple statement that "sure there may be some racists at Mizzou, both black and white and we’ll deal with them on an individual basis as we find out who they are."

Re: Scheduling of BYU Sunday, November 08, 2015 1:47:24 PM Mr Rhoades, I wrote to you a couple of months ago concerning your scheduling of Brigham Young University. I just wanted to point your attention to the big news this weekend about the Mormon Church's new discriminatory practices of barring children of same-sex couples (or children produced from heterosexual marriages that have since dissolved and one of the parents has come out as gay) from participation. This is just outright discrimination and bigotry that is beneath your university to be associated with. In the 1970s schools boycotted playing BYU over their racism and refusal to allow equal participation of those with black ancestry. I would encourage you and your university to take the high road, and disassociate yourselves from this bigotry going forward. Here is the link to the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/07/us/mormons-gaymarriage.html Best, Isaac Higham On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 8:20 PM, Isaac Higham wrote: Dear Mr. Rhoades, I wanted to write to you to express concern about your scheduling of Brigham Young University in football. BYU has an "honor code" that prohibits students (and student athletes) from being LGBT. If a student or student athlete exercised their legal, Constitutional right to marry (something that thousands of BYU students do each year) but choose to marry someone of their same-gender, they would lose their good standing in the school and be expelled, lose their campus employment, and be kicked off their teams and clubs. And because BYU requires students to live in BYU approved housing--and in order to be BYU approved, housing complexes must require tenants to follow the BYU "honor code"--they would be evicted from their housing as well. This position is clearly discriminatory and contrary to the diversity commitments of the NCAA and Mizzou itself. The University of Missouri has built a reputation as a supporter for equality for LGBT people. Your athletic department, school, students, athletes, and coaches made major headlines with the overwhelming support and love they gave to Michael Sam. The "You can play" video your student athletes and coaches put together inspired countless LGBT young people and helped them feel acceptance in the world of athletics. As such, I would encourage you to re-think your scheduling with BYU going forward. Mizzou is a top tier program that can schedule almost anyone it wants, while BYU is an independent team needing help to put together a schedule. Standing up against their discriminatory practices would be the right thing to do to send a message and promote change.

After what has transpired these last couple of days, as an alumni and parent of a current student at Mizzou, I am ashamed and embarrassed of how the football team and coaches, professors and students forced the resignation of President Wolfe in the manner that it happened. I no longer will support the football team with any purchases of tickets or merchandise. I whole-heartedly think that the players should have thought about their privileges they receive as a student athlete before deciding to boycott. However, if the University is so good at giving in to demands, then here's one of my own. I demand that the University reimburse me for the tuition money I spent for my son to go to class today but was canceled when his professor decided to walk out. I guess the professors, the non-paying football players and the overpaid coach doesn't care that there are parents going deep in debt paying 100% (no loans) of their child's tuition, books, food, etc. Nope, I don't see "white privilege" here in this house, but I do see "football player" privilege abusing the system. But if you really want to do something about this, you can send a "Large" size shirt to my son. It's the only free thing he'll ever get from the University.

Hope you are well. It is remarkable that some grievances, injustices and slights fester and simmer for what seems like forever, and then-just like that-all hell breaks loose. And the whole world cannot help but notice. Such has been the case at the University of Missouri, where there have been many reports of injustices against black students, and they have been allegedly handled poorly by university officials. And then, without a leader, and without any particular platform or strategy, a graduate student went on a hunger strike, and-improbably-the Mizzou football team banded together and threatened not to play next Saturday's game versus BYU in Kansas City. And all eyes have been on Missouri the past few days. Their chosen villain was University of Missouri system President Tim Wolfe, who had committed a few gaffes and insensitivities to the black student community. L The ultimatum was issued by the insurgents: either Wolfe goes, or we don't play. Of course, it's always smart to demonize the enemy. After all, a heaping portion of hate can go a long way. L _J And it was more than just principle involved, there starting with a cool million dollar noplay fee that would go to BYU if the game did not go off, not to mentions ticket refunds, concessions, parking revenues, etc. Alas, it was/ail acompli, and President Wolfe took to the podium this morning, and choked out his resignation. For dramatic effect, he quoted from scripture selected by his daughter. Pu/lease. To view video, click hm:e. Bowen Loftin is the President of Missouri (the school. not the system). and he seemed to have distanced himself from the fray. Not so, he announced his resignation just a couple hours ago, at about 6pm ET. And now. dear readers. it's time for cogitation and rumination: • Would the football players would have made their ultimatum if they were 90? (They are currently 4-5). • The news cycle is a curious thing. When there's a blockbuster story like this one, every news organization trips on each other to get at it. Meanwhile, there are other big stories that get lost in the shuffle. Today, there was another big story: a Big Ten AD left his school (Mike Thomas from Illinois). Nobody noticed. • How could football players at the other 200+ D 1 football schools not have noticed what went on at Mizzou? Might not some of them try the same thing if they are having a lousy season? (In the Dan Wetzel article below from Yahoo Sports, longtime player advocate Sonny Vaccaro expresses his awe that a strike like this had finally been threatened). Below are the four best articles I selected from the couple dozen others out there. Have a good Tuesday. Nick Infante Clips Editor Access Clips 11·tbsitt: beD: faitttr: @CollegeAthQips Missouri protest exposes NCAA's greatest fear By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo Sports, 11-9-15 From way out in California, Sonny Vaccaro, the retired Nike and Adidas executive and longtime proponent of student-athlete rights, looked on as the University of Missouri football team organized a protest over the weekend, refusing to practice or play until school president Tim Wolfe was "out of office." In less than a day the movement grew from a single tweet from 32 black players to the support of perhaps the whole team, including head coach Gary Pinke) and the athletic department By Monday morning, poof, Wolfe was gone, resigning his presidency that he held onto across months despite protests, complaints, a tent city on campus and even a hunger strike by a graduate student. It was the football team that supplied the momentum and media attention that nothing else could. No matter where someone stands on the issues surrounding Missouri, the way they were handled or the remedy of firing Wolfe, the power of the players that was suddenly displayed here is undeniable. "This is what I've believed could happen for 30 years and what I think is the deepest fear for the NCAA - athletes control what happens on campus," said Vaccaro. "This is an unbelievable step forward for athletes." Universities long ago placed an undue importance on athletics - notably football and basketball. This is because of their ability to positively affect almost all segments of campus life. These two sports drive the most media coverage and marketing possibilities. They are seen as a key for fundraising. They are believed to be major draws for prospective students. They can sway politicians to support the school through public funding. They can rally surrounding communities and prop up the economics of college towns. And they can just be a lot of fun. As a result coaches are paid millions more than presidents, let alone professors. Athletic facilities are opulent in ways academics could never dream. Entire television networks have been built around the games, a way to draw money out of every cable-subscribing home in the region. They don't do that for chemistry departments. So what happens if the players who bring in all that money and all that attention and all that passion stand together, not just behind whatever hot-button issues sprout up on their specific campuses, but even bigger, broader ones, including their own rights inside this multibillion dollar endeavor? What about something compelling such as demanding better care and post-graduate insurance for catastrophic injuries? In how many locker rooms are athletes marveling at what just happened in Columbia? "The Missouri kids crossed a line that had never before been crossed," Vaccaro said. "The game has changed." In the 1990s, Vaccaro was a consultant to a basketball team that seriously discussed not leaving the locker room of a Final Four game to demand a share of the sports revenue goes to the players. It never went down, but the possibility stuck with him through his years as a grassroots basketball czar and later as a consultant for the landmark Ed O'Bannon lawsuit against the NCAA. Organizing athletes was also one of the driving goals behind the recent attempt to unionize football players at Northwestern. In the end that failed, but the success of the Missouri players suggests maybe an actual labor union isn't even needed anymore. "Players have power," Ramogj Huma, a former UCLA linebacker turned leader of the National Collegiate Players Association, an advocacy group for student-athletes that supported things such as the O'Bannon lawsuit and the Northwestern unionization movement. "The players have always had power on campus, it's just rarely channeled," Huma continued. "Here it was channeled and you see there was enough power to compel a university president to resign." University administrators everywhere have to fear, or at least be aware, of turning the athletes against them. "I can tell you that every athletic director in the country is watching this closely," a major program AD texted Yahoo Sports on Monday. What is particularly striking about the Missouri situation is despite the relative anonymity of the Tigers' football team, which is just 4-5 on the season, their impact was immense and immediate. What Vaccaro was discussing in 1990s was a high-profile basketball squad giving up a shot at a potential national title - a lifelong dream no matter what they thought of the NCAA. It also would have required an intense stand, with star players being singled out as they attempted the difficult task of articulating their position in the midst of a media frenzy. Missouri had none of that. At the time of the protest no one publicly even knew who led it. The Mizzou players never had to hold a media conference or walk off a field of play. Through modem social media, they simply tweeted out a group picture, relying on the power of the pack. Everything snowballed from there. By the next day Pinke! was tweeting out a picture of the entire team and offering full support. He may well have been truly supportive. Even if he wasn't, he knew that not doing so would completely crush recruiting. The old days of the bully coach are dead and everyone knows it. "The athlete of2015 is different than the athlete of 1995," Vaccaro said. Huma supported this specific movement in the broader fight against racism, but like Vaccaro he looked on with a different perspective. If there is anyone who would organize future protests against college sports as a whole, it's Huma. "Of course I can't help but view this through the lens of our movement," Huma said. "What I was encouraged by was that it started with just black players, 30 or 32 black players. But then soon white players and even the coaches stepped in too. It says that if enough [players] start the process, the entire team will follow and even the coaches and administrators." College athletics is a multibillion-dollar business built on the expectation of compliance from its workers. For decades players have demanded a greater cut of the ever-expanding pie. Thanks to the O'Bannon lawsuit, student-athletes have begun receiving a cost-of-living stipend to go along with traditional tuition, room and board. That is not an inconsequential sum but it is also money that college sports has to share. There is plenty more, too. What was striking about the Missouri-threatened protest was the economics of even the simple regular-season game Saturday against BYU in Kansas City. IfMizzou was forced to forfeit, it still owed BYU $1 million for agreeing to play. There would also, presumably, be lost revenue from renting out Arrowhead Stadium, not to mention lost profits from gate, parking and concessions, much of which was already budgeted. There could have also been television contractual demands. There were millions on the line here. "That's a lot more than the president made," Huma said. According to public records, Wolfe's salary was $459,000, and while there are greater concerns than just one-off revenue at stake, those figures apparently weren't lost on the student-athletes. Money drives everything. In 2012, Missouri left its longtime home in the Big 12 Conference to join the Southeastern Conference, mostly due to the possibility of additional revenue. That included the formation of the SEC Network, which charges at least $1.30 per month ($15.60 per year) to everyone with at least a Tier One cable subscription in the states with league teams, no matter whether the subscriber wants the channel or would ever watch it or any sports event. It's essentially an SEC Sports Tax, which means Missouri athletics affects almost everyone in the state. If a similar $15-a-year higher-education tax were ever put on the ballot in most states, it would likely lose in a landslide. The SEC Network, however, requires games to actually be played. Same with deals with CBS and ESPN. It's part of how a mediocre football team without a star player or an identifiable leader used a tweet or two to change the leadership of their university system, all by refusing to practice and perhaps play in a run-of-the-mill non-conference game. "It took less than 48 hours," Huma said with an impressed tone. Not all situations are similar, or as volatile, so where this is headed next is unknown. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Inside college sports, however, the potential awakening of the athletes could change everything. "If the players don't play," Vaccaro said, "the pyramids fall."

Mizzou Player Strike Raises Fascinating Questions By Clay Travis, Outkick the Ccverage, 11-8-15, 8:57pm Readers please note: This article was posted Sunday night, before President Wolfe resigned. The University of Missoul'i's football players are on strike. (It's refreshing to see the defense and special teams joining the offense, which hasn't shown up all season, on strike. Great team unity). Why are Mizzou players on strike? Ber.ause of two instances ofracjal slurs on c.ampns a poop swastika seriously it's like "South Park" is writing a campus satire -- graduate student health issues and a lack of action from University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe. Why Wolfe? Because presumably it is now the university president's job to make sure that no one ever says anything offensive to anyone on campus via spoken or written word. or poop hate symbols. (I haven't Goog!ed it, but couldn't the poop swastika actually be a meta commentary ridiculing the swastika? Like, I'm sure that has been featured in a Brooklyn art show at some point in the past ten years. Think about it, if someone made a poop Alabama logo at Auburn, would you immediately think it was endorsing Alabama? Or the exact opposite? But I digress). Anyway activists are demanding that Wolfe step down after announcing his white privilege in a pnbljc fomm (Isn't announcing your white privilege at a public forum just more evidence of white privilege? Why are people there to see you denounce your white privilege? Because you have the power to call a press conference thanks to your white privilege. By the way, if! were a rapper, I would totally name myself "White Privilege." Game. Over.) So there's a hunger strike and some people camping out and now the Missouri football team has decided it won't play unless the president steps down. Again, this is all real. The football team's protest is a natural outgrowth of social media trends on college campuses. These days it's very popular to protest things that everyone is already opposed to. ("Bro, your micro aggressions against my anti-slavery petition will not stand.") But the protest really takes off when you find a villain and charge him with the root cause of the issues at hand. Enter President Wolfe, an aloof middle-aged white man who is the perfect villain for a campus crusade against racism. Even if, you know, he isn't racist or involved in any of the actions on campus that people are protesting. So you've got your villain, what comes next? You demand his firing. Because it's not a real bona fide campus protest unless someone gets fired. The mob needs a head to parade around. "You know how much we fought racism at Mizzou? We replaced one middle-aged white dude with another middle aged white dude. Eracism, bitch!" I don't think it's going to cure campus racism if Wolfe steps down. But everyone knows that it's impossible to have political views in our modem social media era unless there's an evil person to blame. The mob rapidly sweeps across campus life until it envelops the football team too. Honestly, the biggest surprise here is that it's taken this long for college athletes to get involved in dumb campus protests. Even though this Missouri football protest is patently absurd and unlikely to change anything, it's simultaneously fascinating to me at the same time. Why? Because of what it might represent in the future. Let's dive in and discuss five big issues at play here. 1. Mizzou 's players are striking. I happen to think they're striking for a dumb reason. But what if they were striking to be paid to play football? I might well support that. These players make millions for their universities. What would happen if one team's strike spread across college football and on one Saturday no one played any games? What happens then? Think of the billions of dollars at stake for the universities and their television partners. If they unite, the players have the power here. The schools are obligated to deliver games to the television networks. The schools use those funds to pay for coaches, facilities, and virtually all athletics on college campuses. How many school athletic department budgets could survive without a month of football? What happens if the games can't happen due to player strike? While I make fun of social media activism because it's often mindnumbingly oversimplified and rooted in a demand that free speech be curtailed, it also would be easy to organize players. What happens if Mizzou fails to take the field on Saturday against BYJl? The university owes a million dollars to BYU. They have to pay that fee even if the game doesn't happen. Mizzou also loses out on ticket sales and concessions -- it would have to refund ticket prices and, potentially, donations for all missed games. Moreover, what happens to Mizzou's SEC checks if it doesn't finish the season? Does the SEC dock its revenue share millions of dollars since the majority of the value comes from football games? We just don't know. Fortunately for the SEC Mizzou's games against Tennessee and Al:kansasdon't implicate the conference title, but how would the SEC and the playoff committee consider a forfeit due to a player strike? Can you imagine if Tennessee won the SEC East or Arkansas won the SEC West via a Mizzou forfeit? From a legal perspective this is all fascinating. 2. What can Gary Pinke) do? He can't do anything, the multi-millionaire coach is powerless here. Ifhe threatens his players and forces them to play, good luck recruiting minority athletes after that stance. The power dynamic is fascinating here -- the players have the power when they unite. Mizzou stinks this year, so they're probably going to finish 4-8, but what if a team in the college football playoff went on strike? Or let's pretend that Mizzou's players were on a team that was actually good, what if this was last year and Mizzou refused to take the field for the SEC title game? You talk about neivous television executives. Again, there are billions of dollars at stake in these games. Put simply, the games must go on. Gary Pinke) will keep issuing a predictable response praising his players and condemning racism. He will be praised for this by sportswriters - if he's really lucky and no one else changes genders this year he might even get an ESPY for courage! -- but the simple truth is this: it would be infinitely more courageous for Pinke! to say, "I don't think the protest makes any sense and I think these guys should get back to playing football." But Pinke) would get crushed for this by the media and his recruiting would suffer. Hell, his coaching career might end. No one has more to lose from this protest and less to gain than Gary Pinke!. He's probably having several jumbo glasses of wine as we speak. I would be. 3. The sports media will almost universally praise Mizzou players. Everyone's afraid of being called racist -- especially if you're a white male sportswriter, which is like 90% of all sportswriters in the country -- so the easiest thing to do is write a boilerplate column praising the courage of the players. After all, what's the payoff in pointing out that a poop swastika isn't actually directed at black football players? Or that racial slurs happen everywhere and are unlikely to be solved by not playing a football game? No, don't you get it, these guys hate racism more than you and me and everyone else. They hate racism so much they are not going to play a football game -- that they'll probably lose. That's brave, man. Look, if not playing football games cured racism, I'd be the first to say don't play football. But this is an absurd protest with absurd demands. The simple truth is this -- the sports media is overwhelmingly liberal white guys. It's easier to praise players than point out that this is the Kony of college football, a millennial-fueled uproar lacking in cogent goals or actionable claims. Not all strikes are dumb, but this one? This one is very dumb. #poopswastika (And just to make it clear, I hate racism and death and cancer and domestic violence and terrorism and center seats in airplanes more than all of you do. I AM MORE OUTRAGED THAN ALL OF YOU COMBINED. And that's not just my white privilege speaking). 4. Predictable anger bubbles up from both sides of the political spectrum. You'll have the liberal laudatory pieces, mostly written by the mainstream media that praise the players for being willing to "take a stand" and "realize that some things are more important than football" and then you'll have the conseivatives demanding an aggressive response to these hippie slackers who want the government to give them things. The conservativse are already asking an interesting question: can't Mizzou just pull these players scholarships if they refuse to play football? Now the school won't be ballsy enough to do it. but I think the answer is yes. The players are on scholarship specifically to play football. if they choose not to play. for any reason other than physical injury. they aren't fulfilling the obligations of their scholarship. Hence they've breached their scholarship contract and could lose their free ride for school. lodging and meals. 5. Can Mizzou forfeit these games? If this situation continues to fester the easiest way to handle this would just be to cancel the rest of the season and forfeit the final three games instead of losing them on the field as Mizzou would probably do anyway. But. again. is that legal? Does Mizzou have a contractual obligation to deliver 12 games worth of football content to the SEC and its television partners? Would they be on the hook to make up millions of dollars in damages if they don't? (The most entertaining aspect of this would be if Mizzou fielded a team of regular students from intramural football to fulfill its contractual obligation. Can you imagine watching this game? This would be incredible. It's like every mailbag question about regular college guys against D 1 athletes come to life at once) . The biggest issue is that this Mizzou story doesn't stand alone. it's just part of a larger campus narrative -- we live in a time when many students believe they have a right not to be offended. I disagree. completely. I think the entire purpose of college is to challenge your opinions and examine ideas and beliefs that you may find repugnant. After all. how can you be sure of your own beliefs if you haven't studied the beliefs of others? Also. and this may be shocking to some of you youngsters reading this. but -- TRIGGER WARNING -- sometimes people are going to say mean things to you in life. I know. I know. if you need a safe place to rest after reading that menacing sentence I'd suggest going elsewhere. Outkick will always represent the free speech wing of the free speech party. And even though this Mizzou football strike is incredibly dumb, the next one may not be. Because players may not wait for the courts to decide how much money they should get paid. they may strike and make their own rules. And that football strike? Hell. I'd support the objectives of that football strike. This article has been reprinted on this Clips eF/ash with the author's pennission. Missouri football players force change by making people Jisten By Matt Hayes, Sporffng News, 11-9-15 This has been going on for not days, not months. not years - but decades upon centuries. We•re not really that small-minded to believe some jnghead university president is the epicenter of it all, are we? Because if we are, then we're just as easily swayed to believe a football team cures all. "We stopped listening to each other," Missouri president Tim Wolfe said in describing the latest hotspot in race relations in this country. The problem is, we've never listened to each other. There's a lesson to be learned here, a distinct and definitive ideal that too long has been ignored and too often has been overlooked. The sin of mankind isn't racism, it's refusing to address it. The greater evil is avoiding the hard, soul-exposing work to find an answer to the very thing that is, more than anything, tearing us apart. Instead of digging deep and finding common ground on the realities of racism and race relations, it all devolves into surface hysteria. So what do we do this time around? We sprinkle the magical fairy dust of football over the University of Missouri and hope it will go away. Just like Ferguson has gone away. Just like Watts, just like Liberty City. Just like the most disturbing and destructive moment in the history of our great Republic: the Civil War. "This is not the way change should come about," Wolfe said in announcing his resignation. Then maybe sports is. As absolutely ridiculous and small as it sounds, maybe we actually can begin to find common ground in the one thing that brings us all together. If we didn't think sport mirrors society before, we can ignore it no longer. Two years ago the Grambling football players used the threat of walking out over poor playing conditions, and actually skipped a game before the university agreed to change. In the early 1970s, Washington refused to come back on the field after halftime unless a statement was read over the loudspeaker about the players' opposition to the war in Vietnam. In 1969, Stanford declared it would honor an "athlete's right of conscience" which would allow an athlete to boycott a school or event that he or she deemed "personally repugnant." None of those events, though, carried the weight of the statement from the Missouri football team which declared it would suspend all activity until Wolfe resigned. Think about that: a major college football team; a member of the big, bad SEC, and a program that two years ago was one win away from playing in the BCS National Championship Grune, threatening to walk out. Then, almost on cue, the man who had ignored a year of complaints from black students at Missouri suddenly decided to step aside after the story grew outside the bucolic campus in Columbia. The Power of the People. Or in this case, the pigskin. Of course this was a bottom-line, money-driven decision based squarely on the strong shoulders of football. The last thing Missouri needs is loss of revenue from a football game and the unintended consequences that come with it, most notably, the wrath of our instant-on, instant-gratification society. Yet here's the problem: in our zero attention span society, too many will see this potential of sports wedging its way into society's ills as a two-minute television dip. The bobblehead flunky steps in front of a camera and decries all things racism and throws it back to the anchor desk, where we move to the next story about the flying squirrel. "Would you look at him go!" This is hard work, people. It's not driving by and staring at the fire and smoke billowing from the epicenter, then hitting the pedal to swing by Starbucks for a latte. Ifs not standing on top of a car and screaming, " Bum this #@&* down!" and destroying the lives of hard-working neighbors in the collateral damage. It's finding out who we really are, and understanding the value of the other opinion. I sat in Texas coach Charlie Strong's office last April, and listened to a man who dealt with systemic racism throughout his coaching career. If anyone in the coaching fraternity had the right to be bitter, to stand his ground, it's Strong. "When you get bitter, it stops you from moving forward," Strong said. "We all have to step back and look at things from the other person's perspective, and realize what their battles are. We don't want to hear the other person's side because we feel like we're always right, so we don' t listen." If we take anything from this, it' s the value of listening - with our ears and our minds. Digest it, process it, embrace it. It's impossible to see the seminal moment of the Missouri football players deciding they'd seen enough, and not realize the power of football at a university. Who cares ifthe team probably wouldn't have done the same thing if they were 9-0 and in the middle of a championship season? Who cares if coach Garv Pinke! had to take the side of players now or lose the team forever? Again, that' s all surface noise in the grand scheme. Dig deeper, everyone. The move by the football team worked, forcing a president who dearly wasn' t interested in addressing problems to stand aside for change. Year after year, decade after decade, century after century, we've stared at the opportunity for change and blinked. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to give the one thing that brings us all together a chance to fix the one thing that drives us apart. Who would ever imagine it could be found in an oblong ball?

In Missouri, Political Activism and Sports Cross Paths By Jeremy Gordon, Wall Street Jaumal, 11-9-15 Athletes have long been inconsistent when it comes to political activismwhere there's Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fists at the Olympics, there' s also Michael Jordan refusing to make a campaign contribution for fear of discouraging the other side from buying his sneakers. But a protest from the Unfrersitv of Missouri's football team over a string of racially-motivated incidents on campus has the power to affect change, as the school president must suddenly race to resolve the conflict lest the team start costing the university money by forfeiting games. Scanning over a timeline of the recent protests it's hard to pinpoint a single incident that sparked the entire conflict. There have been reports of racial slurs being yelled at black students; there was also a swastika drawn with feces on a bathroom wall. In recent months, there have been low-level anti-racism protests, as well as protests over benefits cuts for the graduate students. The conflict may have reached a fever pitch when a graduate student named Jonathan Butler embarked on a hunger strike, claiming he wouldn't eat until the school's president, Tim Wolfe, resigned. Over the weekend, a number of the team's black students JlJlS1ed_a statement saying they would no longer participate in football-related activities until Wolfe resigned; they also referred to Butler's hunger strike. A day later, coach Gary Pinke! posted a photo to bis Twitter account that showed the entire team standing arm-in-arm, and said he supported his players. With Missouri scheduled to play a game on Saturday, there's suddenly a new pressure on the school's administration. "At too many places, athletes like them are sheltered away from everyone else, living in specific dorms, taking specific majors, spending most of their time in the football facility where they can be segregated from other students, blissfully playing video games in plush lounges or lifting weights in mammoth facilities, all built for coaches to control their every movement in pursuit of victory and little else," writes Yahoo 's Dan Wetzel. "The Missouri players are part of the fray, part of the place." At USA Today, Dan Wolken points out that the protest gained immediate credibility thanks to the support of Pinkel, who 's been at Missouri nearly four times as long as Wolfe and won six bowl games during his tenure. "It's easy to envision coaches with less credibility on their campus and much more to lose trying to shut this down. If Pinke! was in his fifth year and on the hot seat rather than the most successful coach in school history, this protest may already be over," he writes. "But with one picture, Pinkel empowered his players to take a stand and risk whatever may cnme." A cynic might say the team wouldn't be protesting .if..they. were undefeated but the team's participation is still the most visible support for the cause. There's no guarantee the protest will work. The history of athlete protests is up and down; one only has to look at Northwestern's labor issues to see how quickly dissent is quelled. The players could decide to break tomorrow, should Wolfe find a way to placate them. Already, there have been reports of dissent from within the team, sho\ving that solidarity isn't as cut-and-dry as a well-performing tweet. At the same time, something is better than nothing. "If Wolfe goes, it will show how university power really works in a country where football coaches are often the most highly paid people on campus and universities are like a company town whose primary business is football," writes the Nation's Dave Zirin. "The actions of these players is best understood as a rnmhle of the sleeping giant " Think of how change might be affected at other schools by the threat of protest, and the explicit backing of the team's coaches. If this were happening at the University of Alabama with Nick Saban, do you think the school board would hesitate for a second before siding with the team? What happens this week might set an entirely new precedent. This article has been reprinted on this Clips eF/ash with the pennission ofthe Wall Street Journal. EXCERPTED FROM: Missouri President's Resignation Shows Realm Where Young Minorities Have Power By Joe Nocera, New York Times, 11-9-15, 8pm ET In announcing his resignation Monday morning, Wolfe said he was motivated by his "love" for his alma mater. No doubt he was sincere. But it is hard to believe that his calculations didn't include money as well the $1 million that Missouri would be contractually obliged to pay Brigham Young University if the Tigers failed to play Saturday's game; and the mess it would create for itself- and the Southeastern Conference, which it joined only four years ago - ifa players' strike lasted to the end of the season. Missouri's final SEC game in late November, against Arkansas, is scheduled to be televised by CBS, which pays the conference $55 million a year for television rights. Will racism be eliminatedfrom the Missouri campus now that the football players have succeeded in ousting Wolfe? Ofcourse not. On a campus ofapproximately 35,000 students, only 7.2 percent are black. The school has worked to attract more students from urban centers, including outside ofMissouri, which can create a cultural conflict with some of the in-state rnral white students. Earnest L. Peny, an African-American journalism professor, told me that teaching a required journalism diversity course throughout the years opened him to "criticism and racism, both written and verbal; I am not immune. " Qiana Jade, a Missouri student, posted a video on Twitter showing an exchange behVeen Wolfe and some protesters. It shows him clearly out ofhis element - and on his heels. Asked by the students to de.fine "systematic oppression," he said, ''I'll give you an answer, and I'm sure it will be a wrong answer. " Pressed further, he said, "Systematic oppression is because you don't believe that you have the equal opportunity for success. " The students empted in anger.. As Wolfe walked away, a student yelled "Did you just blame us for systematic oppression, Tim Wolfe? Did you just blame black students?" It turns out that the football players had something the other protesters didn 't power. There wasn't the slightest hint that Wolfe was considering resigning - until the football players got involved. Schwarz, the economist, told me that it was easy for the univer:sity administration to ignore the protesters because they were members ofminorities and because they were young. But, he added, "The one place where young minority voices have economic power is sports. " To read the Nocera column above in its entirety click h£re.
