Looks like Mizzou would have to cough up $1M in penalties (per game) if it can't play out their games. Looks like Wolf was forced out to stop the potential bleeding.
"...I’d argue that Wolfe would have been fired had he not resigned so quickly.
At Missouri, like most other Division I schools, football is king. The university currently offers 18 sports to its student athletes, with all sports generating approximately $83 million in 2014, up from $76 million in 2013. Missouri’s football revenue accounted for 42.5% ($35 million against $21 million in expenses) of the athletics department revenue in 2014 and 41.7% ($31 million against $17 million in expenses) in 2013.
When your football program accounts for such a large portion of your sports revenue pie, a prolonged strike would all but cripple the university’s sports programs as merchandise dollars, concession sales, television monies and gate receipts are all predicated on the actual playing of football games. Could the athletic department’s budget survive two months without football? One month? How does the SEC revenue-sharing model work if the team failed to play out the remainder of the season?"

If (a big if) there was a swastika drawn in shit, that's evidence of some crazy person moreso that it is a university being complicit in allowing racism.
If ( a big if) some random person OFF CAMPUS insulted someone with the N-word, that sucks. But I don't see how that is the university's fault. Hell its not even illegal.
It's already come out that the hunger strike guy lied about the KKK being on campus.
Id say odds are that there are more fabrications to this story. Media just ran with it because it sounded juicy and fits a compelling narrative.
