hiring Mizzou athletes and we'll be at a huge disadvantage to other P5 schools? I just don't see that being the case. We may not be the highest paying communities but we'll definitely have athletes who are paid. It's not like Duke or Kentucky boosters were going to come in and offer Demarre Carroll a ton of money after his 13 PPG season in 2007 anyways.
And when you have an athlete like Marcus Denmon and Kim English who come in and are good as a freshman and have big profiles, they are going to make good money from Columbia businesses. If they would have transferred to a blue blood after their freshman year, their profiles would have been much lower there at least for the first couple of seasons after transferring.
IMO, this effects the mid-majors WAY more than it will effect us.
