Mizzou chancellor on Barry Odom: 'We'll make a decision when we think the time is right'
University of Missouri chancellor Alexander Cartwright issued some comments on the state of Mizzou’s football program on Friday.
He said he wants the program to win, according to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Tigers are currently 1-3 on the season.
The chancellor reportedly said that a winning football season affects fans’ interest in the university.
“Everything we do has an impact on the institution,” Cartwright said. “Yes, football has visibility, but we have outstanding extension, we have outstanding research, we have incredible students who right now are at the second-highest retention rate in our students’ history. This reflects how great of an institution it is.”
