OT: Mizzou announces NCAA infractions in basketball
*A donor provided impermissible benefits to three current student-athletes and one prospective student-athlete in 2013 and 2014. These included compensation for work not performed, housing, transportation, iPads, meals, the use of a local gym and $520 in cash.
*A second donor provided impermissible benefits to 11 student-athletes and three family members of a student-athlete from 2011-14. The benefits included reduced rates at a hotel, meals and boat rides.
In addition, student-athletes were provided impermissible transportation by a team manager. *Mizzou was charged with failure to monitor the internship program for which the student-athletes were provided improper compensation.
The rest of the $EC laughs at your incompetence, Mizzou. Bagmen are where it's at, baby.
Football recruits be like "boat rides?!?!?!"
Meanwhile...in NCAA investigations into oversigning, "hostesses", and paying Football players...{{{Crickets}}}

The NCAA is so mad at Alabama and the SEC winning another NC, they're going to put Missouri on probation.

I find it "interesting" that the scope of their investigation was limited to Basketball.

Cut Mizzou some slack, they just joined the ess eee see, and thus have not attended the cris carter discussion that instructs Mizzou coaches in the proper use of fall guys bag men.

Missouri STATE is about to feel the NCAA wrath

Again? Didn't they get in trouble when Quin Snyder was the coach too? That's embarrassing to cheat that much and you're still a "meh" program. At least have something to show for your cheating.

Quin Snyder's hair should have triggered an investigation when he coached at Mizzou. Flow that glorious was most certainly related to shady back room shenanigans.

Tulsa AD Derrick Gragg said in his search to replace Danny Manning as head coach, "Head coaching experience is always a plus, but it's not an absolute. And I like somebody who has pretty much toed the line NCAA-wise. I'm a compliance guy."

The University's official statement is here - LINK
Their summary details the "levels" of each violation so you can see which ones were considered major (Level 1 or 2) or secondary (Level 3 or 4). The secondary ones, for reference:
Level III – A former associate head men's basketball coach assisted in the relocation of a prospective student-athlete by providing the phone number of the prospect's mother to a donor (Representative #2) to arrange for rental housing. The family paid a market rate for the rental. However, the actions of the former associate head coach are in violation of NCAA bylaws.
Level III – Representative #1 had multiple impermissible recruiting contacts with a prospective student-athlete and paid for a meal for a non-scholastic coach, in violation of NCAA bylaws.

Why does that picture of Treadwell always come up.
Wow, $300, two girls kissing him and an Illinois State Championship ring. You caught him red-handed!
