November 8, 201510 yr I would like to interview all sides to this story before I pass judgment. Not saying what was claimed to have happened was not bad, but I was thinking of much worse type of incidents.
November 8, 201510 yr The problem is if the president quits it sets a very dangerous precedent. You will have a lot of people feeling empowered with all sorts of demands...
November 8, 201510 yr Were there previous demand before this ultimatum? Second question Can UK PLAY THEM AGAIN TO GET BOWL ELIGIBLE WHILE THESE GUYS SIT?!
November 8, 201510 yr I'm interested to see what happens if this lasts through next weekend. I'm interested to see if the boycott tactic is used at other schools down the road, or if some football players at Tennessee decline to participate in the Mizzou-Tennessee game in Columbia on Nov. 21.
November 8, 201510 yr Were there previous demand before this ultimatum? Second question Can UK PLAY THEM AGAIN TO GET BOWL ELIGIBLE WHILE THESE GUYS SIT?! Yes. Check out the link that Gametime posted. It gave a timeline of events.

November 8, 201510 yr How (if at all) would this affect their scholarships? To me anyway, it would void them along with booting them off the team. jmo

November 8, 201510 yr Missouri football players threatening to walk off / "strike" untill the president of the university resigns or is fired to me anyway would void their scholarship. These young men are getting a scholarship that grants them a college education to play football at the university. I won't get into all of the political issues that I think this comes from, don't want to stir that up at all but imo "IF" there is a problem then Abandoning your teammate and hurting your team IS NOT the way to get anyhing done. ...... Go through the proper channels, file a suit or whatever but this is just a bunch that wants to get headlines, draw attention to themselves. ....my opinion anyway.
November 8, 201510 yr Good opportunity to really teach them a lesson, right??? Don't know, I am no attorney or legal advisor so I don't know that part of it. ...how the scholly is worded, etc..
