Settlement in Historic Title IX Lawsuit involving University of Colorado
Former CU Head Football Coach Gary Barnett Still Clueless
The University of Colorado recently settled a historic Title IX lawsuit in which two women had claimed that they had been raped at a party for football recruits and that the school had previously ignored a similar claim with the school’s football recruiting program.
In addition to these disturbing claims, the lawsuit spurred many other scandalous headlines, such as:
• CU football recruits being enticed with strippers, drugs and sex;
• evidence backing the woman’s claims that CU encouraged the policy of showing recruits a “good time”; and
• then-CU Head Football Coach Gary Barnett having very little sensitivity or tact on the matter.

You know, it’s very sad to admit this is all to common when it comes to college recuriting; especially with football. I’d hate to say this, but colleges should be barred from giving benefits and advantages for football recruitment. This is another sad case where women were abused and used to gain an “advantage on the field”. I hope any appeals regarding this case stay in favor of the complaintants.
