Colorado football reform urged after panel finds alcohol sex and drugs used to lure recruits
An eight member Board of Regents panel report says sex alcohol and drugs were used to lure Colorado football recruits and top university officials failed to oversee the program. It criticizes President Betsy Hoffman Athletics Director Dick Tharp and Chancellor Richard Byyny while stopping short of calling for firings. The panel notes a broader culture problem in collegiate athletics amid big money and a recruiting arms race. Nine women have alleged rapes by players or recruits since 1997 with no charges filed.
