Clear 99 radio, which broadcast the KTGR report that Matt Painter will become the Missouri men’s basketball coach, was the source for an email sent among members of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee.
Martha Townsend, an English professor who serves on the committee, sent the email on Wednesday. She confirmed to the Missourian in an email that she heard the report on Clear 99. One of the student representatives on the committee posted a message about the email on Twitter, and Missouri director of media relations Chad Moller responded to her tweets saying that there is no news and that “someone jumped the gun.”
