No, there are. But I'm not convinced Trevon is one of them. Clearly he's in trouble and I hope he gets help, no matter what happens in his career at Mizzou.

Just throwing money at a problem to create a program won't necessarily fix it. Adults make their own choices.

Personal accountability is implicit in scholarship agreements for football players, volleyball players, academic scholarships, anybody.

You can't make someone be accountable, but you can inform them of consequences when they arrive. I'm confident that happens to every person on scholarship at Mizzou.

What they do with that opportunity is up to them. These are adults, all of them.
