According to an online inflation calculator, David Glass' initial $96 million purchase price of the Royals would have cost $144,791,646 in 2019. That's a cool 607.91% ROI based on Forbes' current $1.025 billion valuation. I'd say Glass' investment beat inflation.

Yes, Mizzou was hard done by the refs a couple times early. But the awful tackling, the porous OL play, the pouting — that’s on the players and coaching staff. Great teams shake off a bad call and go dominate. But Mizzou has been trucksticked by A&M, which deserves a big lead.
