A group of Colorado State football players released an open letter expressing support for head coach Steve Addazio and his staff amid allegations of racial and verbal abuse.
Unnamed football players also told Miles Blumhardt of the Coloradoan that staff members "told players not to report COVID-19 symptoms, threatened players with reduced playing time if they quarantine and [players] claim CSU is altering contact tracing reports to keep players practicing."
CSU wide receiver Thomas Pannunzio (h/t ESPN's Myron Medcalf) posted the letter on Twitter:
"To the contrary, our experience since Coach Addazio's first day has been positive, welcoming and focused on our development as student athletes," the letter read in part, per Medcalf.
