The 2015 Black student revolt at the University of Missouri (UM) Columbus will not be easily forgotten. The revolt, which led to the expulsion of both UM System President and Columbus campus Chancellor, is an example of what happens when a community of Black graduate, undergraduate, and student athletes become one. In this article the authors present a case study of the racial incidents, leading to the submission of demands, protests, hunger strike of Black students, and refusal to play by the football team. Utilizing interest convergence, the convergence interests among various university stakeholders is discussed. Specifically, the authors highlight how the interest among Blacks students and student athletes led to the divergence of interests between UM and White administrators.
