horrendous job handling this from a persuasion perspective.
They are trying to make a case that the NCAA is a needed governing body, and then saying the NCAA should have never governed them, because they governed themselves.
Mizzou's argument from their own mouth
-------------
"Ee acted swiftly once bad behavior was discovered. We self-reported, we cooperated, we took responsibility, and we took further actions to ensure our employees and students understood our “Win it Right” culture.
We removed the employee who acted alone in creating a tutoring violation, and we held 12 student-athletes accountable. We focused the consequences on those involved, but years later, the penalties delivered by the Infractions Committee did not.
Instead, our students and future students who had nothing to do with this violation could suffer the brunt of the sanctions, which include bans from post-season play, recruiting restrictions, and loss of scholarships. That would be a shame, considering those involved in this isolated case are no longer at Mizzou."
--------------------------
What are they even saying?
Yes, we cheated. But everyone involved isn't here anymore, so don't punish us?
Yes, we cheated, but in the name of the new students who had nothing to do with it... don't punish us?
Yes, we cheated, but we governed ourselves, so don't govern us?
Yes, we cheated and we are bad, but others have done worse, so don't punish us?
These are all poor arguments the way they are being framed.
Mizzou has 1 choice and 1 choice only.... that is to go Full-Court Press and say flat out the NCAA should be disbanded and eliminated.
"The NCAA is a lawless, overreaching, out-of-control bureaucracy, corrupted and stained with influence from a select few elites. We see absolutely nothing beneficial and now expect nothing but a fixed system with fixed outcomes.
We will begin working with University Presidents on an exit strategy that eliminates the NCAA. We will discuss whether there is any need at all for a governing body."
That would be impactful.
That would get headlines.
That would get heads rolling.
That would make the NCAA chit, because then, all-of-the-sudden their livelihoods and existence is at stake for the first time.
They would gladly remove every single punishment in exchange for Mizzou dropping this idea of eliminating them.
At that point, we have all the control.
If we continue to hallucinate & pretend that the NCAA is in control, then we deserve to be enslaved by non-existent slave masters.
