Face it most of the best talent are dummies because they only know football. How many of their top recruits have had to go to JUCO because they can't hack it academically due to the high standards ala Sheldon Richardson? He was a moron who couldn't keep his yap shut but guess what? He was the best defensive player on the team.

I don't think Mizzou standards are really much of a roadblock for young recruits. The NCAA sets the admission standard for Div 1 football, not the school. The school can have a higher standard if it wants to, but I'm pretty sure Mizzou doesn't do that.
