I didn't say they'd decide what "acting like an adult" is. I don't see any adults in gov't or college at the moment. I just said assholes would come in and regulate. Perhaps yanking the scholarships is out of bounds. But they have other funding they can pull and then they indirectly force the issue.

There are position coaches, coordinators, head coaches, athletic directors, and university presidents who can regulate. We don't need the government involved. And, as TPR said, it aint their money.

I believe the state of Misery directly supports Mizzou with cash. They're already involved.

Remember the guy who applied to the all female college back in the 80s or 90s and then sued for discrimination when he was rejected?
Essentially, the case came down to the school's funding and because they were 100% privately funded, they were allowed to reject him based on his sex.
Not sure why that doesn't apply to Augusta Golf Course, but you know, fuck white men.
Anyway, point being, the government had no jurisdiction because their money wasn't paying the bills.
