and KC isn't too far behind. Mizzou could field a competitive men's soccer program in no time flat and probably attract more fans to games than many of the other non-revenue sports. I realize that Title IX has a lot to say about men's sports versus women's sports, but add another low-cost women's sport if you have to. Bowling, field hockey, whatever.

Have they ever done a CTE study on soccer players? I would think heading a ball thousands of times over the course of a high school/college/pro career might have some impact on the brain.
