I know Mizzou fans love to freak out, but this is essentially nothing and will amount to as much.
The NCAA is not going to open itself up to scrutiny for their handling of the NCAA academic fraud by trying to hammer Mizzou over something that is Essen insignificant compared to what NC did.
They (the institution itself, not a tutor) had essentially created an entire academic department where athletes received grades for little and sometimes no work at all in order to keep them eligible. This went on for nearly two decades before discovered, not self reported, but discovered. NCAA issued a NOA including the dreaded "lack of institutional control" (which has essentially no chance of being applied in our case). After reviving the NOA, NC lawyered up (their lawyers are located in KC btw) and told the NCAA to go **** themselves in so many words. After which, The NCAA modified its NOA essentially removing any threat of penalty towards football or basketball.
Compare that to a "rogue tutor" (whether that's accurate or not is not relevant, it will be spun that way) reporting to our compliance and our compliance self reporting to the NCAA all in the matter of weeks.
You're looking at some insignificant self imposed penalty (probation). The NCAA is not going to want to push the issue with this after having NC very publicly run their noses in it just a short time ago.
In other words, chill
