After reading Kristine Newhall’s piece on a former University of Colorado football players, there have now been two charged, it make you wonder what type of program does Colorado have? They have had numerous issues throughout the past dealing with women in the past ten years. Issues from underage drinking, sexual assault, rape, domestic assault, fighting, and drugs. Is it the culture, players, coaches, university? How does the University put an end to this particular way of life down in Boulder?
The solution should start with recruiting I feel; you can sacrifice some down years of football to have a clean legal sheet. You need to actually recruit the highest moral/quality guys in and around the country even if they aren’t as physically gifted as other players who carry baggage. It all starts with the win at all costs persona that coaches, fans, and the media thrive down upon the football team, but then when something negative happens they are the first people complaining or venting how this should never of happened or why was this kid ever even allowed on campus.
Really at the end of the day though college football is huge to every University around the nation and every team wants to be competitive in the respective year. The coaches are still going to keep on recruiting the same players, but are going to cross their fingers that they stay out of trouble. I don’t know of many ways that you could prevent these things from happening in the past. At the end of the day these are 18-23 years old men most of them built up with testosterone, drunk, and big headed.
