Ahhhhhh....the three things you can always count on: Death...taxes...and an MU player wearing a boot.
Probally just precautionary...if he's walking.
Not too worried considering nothing is being reported anywhere.
I don't remember ever seeing Mike Kinsella without a boot on campus. He also had his extended crutches and a gallon of water.
Pretty sure I saw him walking around campus earlier this morning with no boot on.... so if it just happened then it must not be serious. I'm not 100% positive... but I think I would've recognized if he had been wearing one.
Wesley Matthews also wore a boot half his senior year. It's precautionary until I hear otherwise.
He just facebooked abou a setback and a comeback.
Not a fan of his latest Facebook post. Don't know how to link via iPhone but he refers to a "major setback".

Yeah, now I'm a little worried
From his Facebook
Todd Mayo
It will be a major set back for a major come back. MY DESTINY CAN BE DELAYED BUT NOT DENIED. Back to the basic
FFFFAAAAWWWWKKKKKKKKKKK!!
An MU source said he isn't injured. Could be that he's just talking about his suspension and coming back strong from that, but apparently he's fine and practicing.

That's a relief.
The problem with this social media age is that we have access to so much irrelevant information and convince ourselves there is a problem.
Save Todd.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Todd pass out at 31 Flavors last night.
Yeah, this thread had a high "Simone Adamley" quotient.

Could this be another false post from that PaintTouches guy? 8-)
However you interpret the social media post does not change the allegation that he is wearing a walking boot, which is not a good sign.
Stay tuned from what I'm told.

Now you know. Was told yesterday he was suspended. He doesn't show up to class.

are you saying he doesn't show up to class after being suspended...or he's suspended because he fails his classes due to not even showing up for class?
Well, I guess it's all academic at this point.

With Buzz (and LW), I'm sure that getting passing grades may not be enough to avoid suspension, if you're missing classes while getting them.
I think there is only one way the NCAA would declare him academically ineligible at this point. That would be that he dropped classes, which results in him being below the minimum amount of required credits. I do not think NCAA looks at mid-term grades.

I spaced out on it being an NCAA thing when I posted. It being a credits problem makes sense. If that's the case, I guess he's counting on taking one of those intensive courses during the semester break, if he's planning on being eligible for the second semester.

i get what you're saying, but there is a big difference between a kid who goes to class everyday, takes advantage of the academic support, and still can't pass a test...vs. a kid who skips class and thus fails classes or is labeled academically ineligible. maybe that's not a topic for a public message board, but the initial post made it sound like he just hasn't been showing up to classes...
No one has said this is a NCAA issue. This is a MU issue! He is not going to classes and study hall. Therefore, he won't be playing or practicing with the team.

Ok, no MU official, Buzz or Larry W. have said it is a NCAA issue.

Also not true.
Let's agree on this, the NCAA did not suspend Mayo and here is the official...
"Sophomore guard Todd Mayo has rendered himself academically ineligible, head coach Buzz Williams announced.
Mayo is unable to practice or play, indefinitely.
"Todd understands success in our program requires a sincere commitment to excellence on and off the floor. I'm extremely disappointed he's put himself in this position, but he has the full support of our program as he works to improve," said Williams."
No mention of a violation of NCAA rules.

The injury he has is self-inflicted.

He does not meet the NCAA's standards to participate as a student athlete this semester.

I won't agree on that, because it's flat-out wrong. Mayo is suspended due to not meeting NCAA requirements. That's not really a debated point.

It's humor, dude.
Mayo posted a picture on instagram of a kid holding up a "Free Mayo" sign and commented saying "Saw this on Tv during the game. This is Motivation to me and to keep my head high and grind. #LastIGpic (Minor setback for a major come back)".
