NCAA Investigation
On January 31, 2019, the NCAA gave the Tigers a postseason ban for the 2019 season. The Tigers' football and softball teams were also suspended from postseason play. However, due to an ongoing NCAA investigation, the baseball and softball teams will be eligible for postseason in 2019. The NCAA found that a former University of Missouri tutor violated NCAA tules by completing coursework for 12 student athletes in football, baseball, and softball. The tutor or any of the athletes involved in the investigation were not named in the NCAA's report. The tutor received a 10-year show-cause for her involvement in the penalties. The NCAA issued the following penalties:

- a 2018âÂÂ19 postseason ban for the baseball and softball programs.
- a 2019âÂÂ20 postseason ban for the football program.
- a vacation of records in which football, baseball and, softball student-athletes competed while ineligible. The university must provide a written report containing the matches impacted to the NCAA media coordination and statistics staff within 45 days of the public decision release.
