The side being expectations of integrity from the CU AD. Which is probably silly given how desperately they're chasing football relevance with a guy who habitually wears sunglasses indoors. It's certainly questionable to announce that you're investigating a program with that high of a profile and then take so long to announce the findings. The public and the media have a right to expect the other shoe to drop. I don't have any hope or expectation regarding Wetmore's and Burroughs's continued employment at CU, just get on with it already. At least for program's sake, if nothing else, since every rival program can use the investigation and still pending report as negative recruiting tools. The reasonable conclusion is that it's taking this long because there are lawyers involved in squaring away whatever action could result to CYA.

OMG a guy who wears sunglasses INSIDE! That must mean he is evil! Really, that is the thing that you are going to mention about Deion? He has done far worse things than wear sunglasses inside, but maybe that is just your thing.

U got a point Rojo. Certainly. But facts remains. And D. Sanders can afford to be hard, prolly has to cos competition in American football is so much tougher (i believe!) Compared to what running is. Maybe for every runner that wants to get on wetmores team there are 15-20 dudes that want to get on Sanders football team. Rite?

So it goes without saying that Sanders has the advantage. I have no doubt that wetmore would have done the same if he had loads of running talents to choose from. Just My thoughts! Keep up the good work.

And i just wanted to clarify, i did not intend it to sound nasty or in anyway derogatory when i said he will be gone soon. I just meant it as a simple fact of life (he is closer to the end than beginning) that the judges or executives (or whoever it is who decides) might have taken into account when wetmores case is being considered....maybe its cos English is my 2nd/3rd language i can sound unpolished at times...sry

What bothers me about all of this is the hypocrisy and sexism by Colorado.

Prime Time - Deion Sanders - comes in as the new football coach and at his introductory press conference literally bragged about how he wanted to make things miserable for the players that were on the team - "We're going to make you quit." Now something like 80% of the players have been forced to leave. And he's praised.

Wetmore. meanwhile, didn't intentionally try to do anything harmful. Quite the opposite, he a walk on come on to the team, someone Sanders would have totally dismissed as not talented enough, and she has a bad experience and now she wants him fired? What about the 75 football guys who were booted off the team?

The real answer? America is racist & sexist but women only want to scream that when they are the victim not the perpetrators.

We can tell thousands of black male athletes to loose weight publicly and point out their physical limitations, we can tell them they’re not good enough and until they get better cut off scholarship, aid, team resources, etc…

But holy smokes, DO NOT DO THAT TO A WHITE GIRL.

The mere MENTION of eating habits, body condition, or mental acuity that a woman needs to improve is immediately categorized as ABUSE.

But no problem doing this to a male Bball, football, soccer, baseball, player ESPECIALLY if they’re a minority.

Women want to be treated as equals… but damn if they won’t acknowledge what that actually looks like.

Idk how's that going for you? I was good enough to get a full scholarship to any D1 school I wanted. I have to say jokes on the CU program. Paid for 4 years and I didn't have to run a step thanks to their incompetence. I ended up doing just fine thanks. Hope you're still hobby jogging

Sounds like you overcame... Didn't have the best relationship with my coach last 2 years of college. But minus a few sleepless nights and one conversation with them I didn't let it change my life's trajectory. I now make 2x their salary run faster than they ever did or any of their much more talented athletes. but also don't think they were/are an awful person/coach. It is very true that my coach had favorites and often those favorites had nothing to do with your work ethic or the times they ran. People are fallible I sure am not perfect but I was an adult I, kept working hard in both running and school and doing that turned my life around. Yes Now I am hobby jogging and loving it stop shaming people for the life they want to live! Do I think my coach needs to be fired or even investigated for what happened while I was there? Nope no I do not. Helped me learn one very important lesson that helped me professionally at work: You sometimes don't get the promotion/raise you desire while others who don't desire those things get them. There really isn't a positive to that but the earlier someone realizes that life isn't fair and often people are the reason the better... It allows you to be able to get away from them. it's freeing to not have them be in control of your life and wellbeing It allows you to get a new job instead of staying around. Sometimes It allows you to then go watch them fail once they no longer have hard workers working for them.
