Colorado Coach: Sex Parties Needed


Recommended Posts

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...me_college_dc_2

The head football coach at the University of Colorado told a former colleague it would be harder to recruit star athletes if the school did not show them a good time and take them to sex parties, according to a deposition released on Friday. 

"If recruits aren't being shown these type of activities ... it would be a recruiting disadvantage," Robert Chichester, a former associate athletic director at the university, quoted head coach Gary Barnett as having told him.

"If alcohol happened to be there, Coach Barnett never really voiced an opinion to me that that was objectionable," Chichester said in the deposition released by the university.

Barnett has denied he condoned such behavior among his players or that he ignored the allegations when they first came to light. At least two of his football players said in their depositions that Barnett repeatedly warned his players about drinking alcohol.

The depositions were taken as part of a lawsuit filed by three women who claim they were raped at or after a December 2001 off-campus recruiting party attended by high school recruits.

Last week Gov. Bill Owens told the university to investigate or he would launch a separate probe.

On Friday, university president Elizabeth Hoffman announced a panel headed by two former state legislators would investigate the recruiting party and report back to the university's board of regents by April 30.

In early 2002, Boulder County District Attorney Mary Keenan declined to file charges over the rape claims at the 2001 party. But this week, Keenan told a Denver newspaper she would reopen the sexual assault investigation to see if any new information gleaned from the depositions could result in the filing of criminal charges.

Its said to say but I wouldn't just point fingers at University of Colorado. I just graduated from a university here in Utah and after talking to some of the football players here the same thing happens. I'm not sure if I would call them "sex parties" but I would definitely say there is alcohol. Most the guys that come for recruiting are under age here in the USA to drink too. It sucks to hear some girls might have been raped during one of these but this is something that should be looked at more any where with a athletic program, and for the most part it seems to be football players, other sports might have it but I've never heard about it.

athletics shouldn't even be on the list of priorities for any school.  all you get is a bunch of dumb jocks who grunt one-word sentences and drag their knuckles on the ground.

Yeah...it only brings in millions of dollars to the schools each year. Good luck running a large school without athletics.

There's no need to throw generalizations/insults around either.

:crazy: Maybe, less harsh words next time for the sports fans here, heh.

Actually, I remember seeing an ESPN special about the Oregon Ducks and it talked about how their football team brought in millions of dollars every game from TV contracts, vending, tickets, etc.

The thing is, University of Colorado is not the only uni doing this. It seems that even the smaller colleges are using the same 'recruiting tactics.'

Smaller schools are even worse than the larger ones because they typically don't have the same kind of oversight from the government (ie, private vs public) that the larger ones do.

And Original is right, it is not just Athletes.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
