Rankings from AP Poll

On January 31, 2019, the Tigers received a postseason ban from the NCAA for the 2019 season due to academic misconduct and providing extra benefits.[1] The school also was placed on three years' probation and had scholarships reduced.[2] Missouri immediately appealed the decision,[3] but the appeal was denied.[4]

On November 30, 2019, a day after the Tigers' win against Arkansas, fourth-year head coach Barry Odom was fired. He finished at Missouri with a record of 25–25, going 13–19 in SEC play.

NCAA investigation

edit

On January 31, 2019, the NCAA gave the Tigers a postseason ban for the 2019 season. The Tigers' baseball and softball teams were also declared ineligible for postseason play. The NCAA found that a former University of Missouri tutor violated NCAA bylaws by completing coursework for 12 student athletes in football, baseball, and softball.[5] The tutor or any of the athletes involved in the investigation were not named in the NCAA's report. The tutor received a 10-year show-cause for her involvement in the penalties. The NCAA issued the following penalties:[6]

  • three years of probation.
  • a 10-year show-cause order for the former tutor. During that period, any NCAA member school employing the tutor must restrict her from any athletically related duties.
  • a 2018–19 postseason ban for the baseball and softball programs.
  • a 2019–20 postseason ban for the football program.
  • a vacation of records in which football, baseball and, softball student-athletes competed while ineligible. The university must provide a written report containing the matches impacted to the NCAA media coordination and statistics staff within 45 days of the public decision release.
  • a five percent reduction in the amount of scholarships in each of the football, baseball, and softball programs during the 2019–20 academic year.
  • Recruiting restrictions for each of the football, baseball, and softball programs during the 2019–20 academic year, including: a seven-week ban on unofficial visits, a 12.5 percent reduction in official visits, a seven-week ban on recruiting communications, a seven-week ban on all off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations, a 12.5 percent reduction in recruiting-person or evaluation days.
  • a disassociation of the tutor.
  • a fine of $5,000 plus one percent of each of the football, baseball, and softball budgets.

The penalties were upheld after an appeal by Missouri.[4]
