🗣 Some GREAT news to brighten your Monday morning ⤵

The NCAA hit Tiger football, baseball, and softball with one-year postseason bans in the 2019-20 school year because of academic fraud. The pandemic wiped out the postseasons for college baseball and softball, so it was unclear if those Mizzou teams had served their bans.
The athletic department said it received confirmation late last week those bans had been served.
