- Players and Wolfe meet and publicly address the issues of real and perceived racism and white privilege.

- MU players, Pinkel and Wolfe give public press conference, announce initiatives to address issues and MU and Pinkel are lauded nationwide as a progressive, racially sensitive institution and individuals. Players and Pinkel speak publicly of their role as ambassadors for MU and students of all races.

- MU announces he's retiring because of campus and national pundits hail his role as educator, coach, racial reconciliatator.

- MU football reaps some local recruiting awards and Rhoades, who isn't looking to bolt, hires Matt Rhule.

- bad news is Rhoades stays on and gives KA another year because he hired him and we don't get Cuonzo and Porter.
