BRIEFLY; MISSOURI BASKETBALL STILL WAITS FOR NCAA RULING

Missouri coach Quin Snyder will have to wait another day, and maybe longer, before finding out if he broke NCAA rules while pursuing his first two recruits for the Tigers.

The university had expected to hear from the NCAA Monday on whether the men's basketball program had violated recruiting rules. But no such ruling was issued from the college sports governing organization, and NCAA spokeswoman Jane Jankowski said there was no specific time set for one.

Calls to the university's sports information department Monday were not immediately returned.

Missouri athletic director Mike Alden notified the NCAA last Friday that the university may have violated recruiting rules by allowing the mothers of Detroit basketball prospects Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson to join their sons on a chartered plane to Columbia, Mo.
