Gary Pinkel said Monday that while he is glad the issue is resolved, he stood behind his players 100 percent during the strike and that football became secondary.

THE AFTERMATH:

• Comprehensive list of demands from Mizzou protesters
• Team holds meeting, university president releases official statement
• Boycott wouldn’t happen if Mizzou was 9-0, says player
• Former linebacker says players ‘lack responsibility and respect’ due to boycott
