“Shock and disbelief”: CU head coaches, Rick George tackle new reality

University of Colorado Buffaloes head coaches and Athletic Director Rick George share a similar disappointment with the Pac-12’s recent verdict suspending athletic competition through 2020.

Colorado football, whose revenue exceeded $43 million in 2019, will be absent this fall along with women’s soccer and volleyball and men’s and women’s cross country. CU’s winter sports of men’s and women’s basketball and fall/spring sports of women’s tennis and men’s and women’s golf have also been postponed until 2021.
