The Field House.

The relationship between major college sports and academics has long been contentious. Does the system need to change?

That topic will be addressed in Boulder this week as part of a panel discussion hosted by the Colorado Athletics Sports Governance Center titled: “Are Big-Time College Athletics Compatible with Academics?” The event will be held from 7-9 p.m. Thursday at the Champions Center on campus inside the third-floor Petry Auditorium. It is free and open to the public.

CU men’s basketball coach Tad Boyle will participate in the conversation alongside a wide-ranging panel of speakers.
