COLUMBIA — This week's biggest Missouri sports story did not involve an event that took place on the field of play. The story that captured the most attention this week was the off-court actions of Missouri guard and last year's Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year, Michael Dixon Jr. On Thursday, Dixon announced that he was transferring from Missouri after reports surfaced that a woman had accused him of forcible rape in 2010. That report was revealed two days after another woman tweeted that Dixon had sexually assaulted her in August.
