Some of us older types who were around in the Al McGuire days, remember how Adolph Rupp controlled the NCAA and the NCAA retaliated against Al and MU for Al's comeupance of Rupp. Proof? Bumblebee uniforms declared illegal because they were "psychedelic". Al constantly getting T'd up by certain officials. 1970 NCAA seed that ended up in MU going to NIT because Al had enough of getting kicked around by the NCAA. It apparently never stopped as Al had a famous rant about the NCAA and how we were getting hosed by the back room NCAA guys in 1977--probably directed at the Rupp battle. So those of us that can remember that stuff, we are a little paranoid when it comes to MU and the NCAA--for good reasons.
