I heard this yesterday from someone who is very well-connected to the AD and donors, but take it for what it's worth because they're not Jim Sterk or anyone in a decision making position.
Cuonzo will be gone if the Tigers don't make the tournament next season. He can't be fired after this year and next year it would cost Mizzou $6million to fire him, but according to this source there's already a donor or donors lined up to pony up the funds to cover a buyout.
Not exactly earth-shattering considering the performance of the team this year, but I was definitely thinking that Cuonzo had a couple more years without a doubt.
