Mizzou Links, 6-3-14: Mizzou hires Spurs strength guy, Maclin's not hurt

Kim Anderson hires former Spurs strength coach Matt Herring, most 2014 football signees are either on campus or will be soon, Jeremy Maclin's not hurt, and the "Division IV" threat is more of a "New Division 1A" threat.

3. Thank you, John Infante...

...the whole "If we don't get autonomy, we'll take our ball and go to a new Division, but you'll still totally be involved in the NCAA Tournament" threat has always sounded more like a new Division 1A than this "Division IV" thing. Now John's written it so I don't have to.
