I guess nobody was watching the CO Program

"DENVER - Top University of Colorado officials failed to oversee the athletic department and football players hosting team prospects used sex, alcohol and drugs as recruiting tools, a report released Tuesday said.

In its report, the school's Independent Investigative Commission also criticized football coach Gary Barnett and athletic director Dick Tharp, alleging Tharp wanted to "maintain a facade of 'plausible deniability'" about recruiting-related partying.
However the panel, appointed by the Board of Regents to investigate the recruiting scandal at the university, also found no evidence that the school's top officials knowingly condoned the use of sex and alcohol to lure promising football recruits.

"The athletic department has long been allowed to operate without strong oversight from the chancellor or president," the commission said. A story about the report's findings first appeared in Tuesday's Rocky Mountain News.

"There is evidence demonstrating that sex, alcohol and drugs were used as football recruiting tools by some player-hosts and possibly a football recruiting assistant," the report said. "There is no clear evidence that university officials knowingly sanctioned this, or had direct involvement."

Old news, nobody cared to post anything about it yet, so I don't think anybody cares, but I will say a few things.

1. That football coach is a douche. Did anybody see his quotes in SI? He was saying it was the girls fault and just being a huge prick. F*ck him.

2. I read recently that parents of the players are complaining to the govenor because he called the scandal a "disgrace" to the state or something. They want him to support the school in hard times, but if you ask me there is nothing to support right now. Boulder is known as one of the nations biggest, if not the biggest party school, and now their easy going administration got bit in the ass. Too bad for them, why should they have my sympathy? Mine goes to the girl(s) who was raped.
