Mr. Murphy praises UM System President Dr. Mun Choi, who’s in his seventh year. Murphy describes President Choi as incredible. The issue of homelessness also was discussed in-detail on the program.

Meantime, Mizzou football’s new 86,000 square foot indoor practice facility in Columbia is now complete, according to Mizzou Athletics. Construction began in the fall of 2021 on the $33-million facility, which was funded through private donations. It’s located next to Faurot Field’s $98-million south end zone complex.
It will be called the Stephens indoor facility, for Brad Stephens and his wife Rachel Cohen Stephens. The Mizzou graduates have made numerous cash and in-kind contributions.
