Missouri coach Gary Pinkel shared a message of support for the Tigers' players of color that are choosing to strike until university president Tim Wolfe either resigns or is removed from his post.

"The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players," Pinkel wrote on Twitter, adding the #ConcernedStudent1950 hashtag to the message.

These Tigers started their protest on the heels of increased racial tensions that have bubbled up on Missouri's campus, most recently involving an incident on Oct. 24 when a swastika carved with smeared feces was put up on the wall of a new dormitory.

Couldn't they do a DNA analysis on the...um...evidence?

Chain of custody problem.
He who did it may not have been the one who dealt it.

He also apparently was having an affair with a local meteorologist, which his wife found out about because of his DUI in 2011. They divorced after almost 40 years because of it. Real piece of work.

Looks like you were right. The President just resigned.
