I agree completely with your take on Pinkel. I've got friends from the j-school still scattered around the country (and from different parts of the country, originally) who speak very highly of the way Pinkel has handled himself in this situation.
And you know what? I think Pinkel honestly connects with his players a little here. Having been at Kent State directly after the violence there (and seeing him talk about how that protest affected his views on the Vietnam war/taking the government's word at face value), I think he has some common ground.

Kind of a reach, here, but do you think this whole thing actually helps Mizzou Athletics get rid of the racist label St Louis has had on them for years?
