KANSAS CITY, Mo. Missouri football faces a postseason ban next season, while its baseball and softball programs are barred from postseason competition this spring after the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced a range of penalties Thursday morning.

MU and the NCAA have been investigating allegations of academic misconduct since tutor Yolanda Kumar announced her role in completing coursework for students in a private Facebook post in November 2016. Mizzou announced that it was being investigated around the same time.

The Committee on Infractions has determined that “the tutor completed academic work on behalf of 12 Missouri student-athletes,” according to a report released on the NCAA’€™s website at 11 a.m. local time.
Three Tigers athletic programs now face sanctions from the NCAA:

 The entire Mizzou athletic department faces three years of probation.

 Kumar, though not named in the report, received a 10-year show-cause order, preventing any NCAA member school from allowing her to work with its athletic department during that time.

 The Tigers’ baseball and softball programs cannot participate in the postseason during the 2018-19 season, while the football program isn’t eligible for a bowl during the 2019-20 season. All three programs also are banned from postseason conference tournament participation.

Any games in which the 12 student-athletes in question participated after becoming ineligible must be vacated. MU must provide a written report to NCAA staff within 45 days.
The football, baseball and softball programs have been hit with a 5-percent scholarship reduction and also face various recruiting restrictions.

Mizzou, which self-imposed its disassociation from Kumar, also must pay a fine in the amount of $5,000 plus 1 percent of the football, baseball and softball budgets.

Among the recruiting restrictions for 2019-20, football, baseball and softball face 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 contacts/evaluation and a 12.5-percent reduction in recruiters allow to make visits on evaluation days.

In a statement, University of Missouri Chancellor Alexander Cartwright said the university would appeal the decision.

“Under Jim Sterk’s tremendous leadership, he has instilled a culture of integrity and purpose in our program and has been a champion for academic excellence. His commitment to the “Win it Right” attitude is on display within Mizzou athletics and our talented student-athletes. As we appeal this harsh and inconsistent decision, we are fortunate to have a leader of Jim’s ability to lead our program and our athletes. We are grateful to our alumni, friends and supporters for their support and commitment to Mizzou athletics, which we all know plays a vital role at this great university.”

In the same statement, Athletic Director Jim Sterk said the Committee on Infractions abused its discretion in applying these punishment against MU.

“The University will immediately appeal this decision that has placed unfair penalties on our department and programs. It is hard to fathom that the University could be cited for exemplary cooperation throughout this case, and yet end up with these unprecedented penalties that could unfairly and adversely impact innocent current and future Mizzou student-athletes.”

The statement went on to say, “It is important to note that this was the action of one individual, who acted unilaterally and outside of the expectations that we have established for our staff members.”

During a conference call Thursday afternoon with reporters, Sterk said MU already has a team working on the appeal and the process could take several months. He added MU expects to win the appeal.
In a tweet, MU head football coach Barry Odom echoed Sterk’s statement.

“The committee’s decision is completely unjust and unfair — to our team, to our staff and to our alumni. I’m very grateful for the clear, decisive and unified leadership we have here at Mizzou and I’m looking forward to doing whatever I can to assist with the appeals process. Together, we will fight for this great institution and I will damn sure fight for my team.”

The penalties handed down by the NCAA does not look like it will impact the decision by highly coveted transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant. According to multiple reports, Bryant will stay at Mizzou. Last month, Bryant announced his intentions to transfer to MU from Clemson. He has since signed a financial aid agreement with MU.

Questions:

1) To what extent do you agree (or disagree) with the sanctions that the NCAA has imposed upon the athletic programs at MU for the unethical behavior of the tutor, Yolanda Kumar?

2) Yolanda Kumar wasn’t named in the NCAA report because she threatened to breach confidentiality multiple times. However, she has stated that she can no longer work in the Columbia Public Schools district because of the 10-year show-cause penalty levied against her by the NCAA. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this penalty against the tutor?

3) What do you think the outcome of MU’s appeal will be? How do you think this case might affect athletic programs at other universities?

Sample Solution

Another issue with women in pri Management Fundamentals nt advertising is that women are being exploited sexually. Because sexuality sells in advertising, many advertising agencies use sexuality to sell products and services. Many models wear next to nothing, showing their cleavage, legs, or other body parts. Having little to nothing on allows consumers to imagine what these models look like. It makes women more desirable to look at and gives a false sense that these women always look that way. It can give men a false reality that all women are sex objects, which can lead to more troubling situations such as abuse, sexual exploitation, and stalking. As a society, we place too much emphasis on how we look. We all want to look better or have a sense of being perfect, but it is not realistic when we look at print advertisements. Our body appearance, weight, and flaws are what make us self-conscious or uncomfortable with our appearance. “Print advertising f Management Fundamentals requently employs multiple images with a single advertisement, each of which is capable of generating an affective response” (Rafi, Chowdhury, Olsen, & Pracejus, 2008). It doesn’t matter if there are negative and positive images in a print advertisement, as long as the responses are positive and the messages are portrayed. According to Putrevu, “Women have superior affect and purchase intent toward advertisements that are verbal, harmonious, complex, and category-oriented” (59). Women view print advertisements with their senses. Women want beauty and perfection because print advertisements give us a sense of what we should look like. By allowing us to feel this way, women buy products they see in print advertisements in order to get a form of satisfaction on their image. I conducted a short study of three women in my family from the age of 16 to 44. I wanted to see reactions, either  Management Fundamentals positive or negative, towards print advertisements based on how they perceived their body and the body image presented in the print advertisement. I was looking for results that can prove that females at different ages might be influenced by print advertisements. These two images are what I used in my short study.>
