Missouri football team protests racism on campus

Boycott presented unprecedented challenge for MU

Spike Lee's Mizzou film debuts in Columbia

Spike Lee's ESPN film 2 Fists Up, which discusses the November race protests (and football team boycott) at Missouri, debuted in Columbia on Wednesday night.

Mack Rhoades' job is tricky right now

With athletic donations down (both because of a subpar football season and university protests) and interim chancellor Hank Foley talking a big game about handling future protests, Mizzou AD Mack Rhoades' job is awfully tricky at the moment.

Black History Month and sticking to sports

Black History Month means something a little bit different at Missouri in 2016, after November's student protests and the ongoing budget struggle in Jefferson City.

Happy 2016! Gary Pinkel's good on TV!

Gary Pinkel was part of the SEC Network's Cotton Bowl coverage, Missouri's November boycott was the biggest story of the year, and there's life for Missouri after Craig Kuligowski.

Who's "acting out" exactly?

The sponsor of a Missouri house bill proposing stripping the scholarships of student-athletes who threaten to boycott or protest, spoke on the radio about his actions yesterday.

Stick to not-sports!

Missouri legislators introduced a bill stripping a scholarship from any student athlete who "takes state dollars" and refuses to play. (They don't take state dollars, but otherwise...) Also: hey look, more awards for Kentrell Brothers...

"He always had everyone's back."

Former Missouri receiver Greg Bracey talked to Rock M Nation about life as a student athlete at Mizzou and Gary Pinkel's commitment to having his players' back.

'We stick with our athlete group'

Taking the plunge

"Uproot hate where you see it. And maybe we won't ever have to experience the kind of pain that we did last week."

"I went into Mommy mode"

"Cultures change by people choosing to change them"

Clouds eventually subside

It's easy to quickly become jaded watching Missouri's unique situation become Just Another Political Argument. So we asked our Columbia editor Taylor S. for some thoughts about actual campus life. There's hope!

SEC coaches talk protest response

In Wednesday's SEC teleconference, SEC coaches like Derek Mason, Bret Bielema, and Nick Saban weighed in on the Missouri race protests and Gary Pinkel's responses to his team's announced boycott.

Shane Ray "Proud of team, wary of future protests for the 'wrong reasons'".

Moving forward is tough

Tension is still quite high on the Missouri campus after a night of social media threats and false reports. Meanwhile, Gary Pinkel is finding it difficult to move forward and prepare as normal for game week against BYU.

And now we move on (sort of)

The race-related protests from the Missouri football team could have massive implications regarding the power of student athletes moving forward. But for now, the Tigers just try to get back to playing football.

Ian Simon: "We will be ending our solidarity strike"

Mizzou president Tim Wolfe resigns

Pinkel, Rhoades release boycott statement

"Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue."

Tim Wolfe releases statement

Empathy above all else

During a tense time on Missouri's campus, empathy is the most important trait.
