Best guess, this was a planned program to keep the racist story to continue on and on and on.

According to USA Today Missouri will pay BYU $1 million if they forfeit this weekend, put a collection booth in front of their student union and let the supporters of the strike demonstrate their solidarity by paying this fine, any bets how much will be in the plate at the end of he week?...

This all started because of grad student’s demands. Here’s their demands.
guarantee that no graduate student employee be paid at a rate below the individual poverty line regardless of their appointment status, department or college.

— A guarantee that all graduate student employees receive full tuition waivers, regardless of their full-time equivalent appointment.

— Revised Aug. 22: a fully-subsidized student health care plan for all graduate student employees that is guaranteed for the full term of their graduate student employment.

— Immediate action on the part of the university to ease the burden on international students caused by the loss of their health insurance subsidy.

— More and affordable university-sponsored graduate student housing.

— A return of affordable, on-campus, university-sponsored childcare facilities for graduate students.

— Revised Aug. 22: A waiver of supplemental fees imposed by colleges, schools and departments for all graduate student employees.

Seems like most of this got started when some folks at the Columbia PD decided to have a support Darren Wilson day. Some of the Ferguson BLM people probably then made it their business to try and stir up some trouble.

Many on the team may not support the stupid demands, but none of that matters in present day USA. What matters is what people with the right color skin or asexual “orientation,” or other perceived victim class think. In this case that is people with black skin. They set the agenda because that’s what’s allowed, especially on college campuses. We live in a system of tyranny of the minority.

No, you tell them even at 9-0: You break the contract, you pay the price. Either you play, or we bring in others to fill the spots AND, if you’re on a scholarship, here’s what you owe for not fulfilling your obligation (make sure it’s room/board/books/loss of sports revenue/etc.).

Actions (should) have consequences. Let the little snowflakes learn a hard lesson.
