A former University of Missouri, Columbia, tutor violated NCAA ethical conduct, academic misconduct and academic extra benefits rules when she completed academic work for 12 student-athletes, according to a Division I Committee on Infractions panel.

Although the tutor said she felt pressure to ensure student-athletes passed courses, according to the committee’s report, the investigation did not support that her colleagues directed her to complete the student-athletes’ work.

In its decision, the committee stated, “Simply put, 12 student-athletes did not complete their own work.” It continued that the tutor engaged in the activity despite receiving extensive and comprehensive education on appropriate tutoring practices.

The committee used the Division I membership-approved infractions penalty guidelines to prescribe the following measures:

• 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 5 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.

Wow...

[Ledsteplin]

It's a shame everyone must suffer the consequences of the actions of one or a few in cases like this. But it is what it is.

Kelly Bryant made the wrong choice lol

Oh man, I didn't even think about that. Can he still go somewhere else lol?

Question is, does he enter the portal again? I don’t know the rules, but is that allowed given The circumstances. Would he have to sit out 2 years? Probably not. But it’s fun talking about it. Auburn?, Arkansas with Morris?
I can’t believe NC pretty much got a pass for years of academic fraud and Mizzou gets a bowl ban for tutorgate!

Wow pretty harsh, looks like the NCAA trying to send a message on this one .

[BamaMoon]

Our text book case says "hello."

NCAA once again seems to act so unpredictably.

From what I've read since he's already enrolled he'd have to sit out another year if he transfers again..
