A number of football players and athletics department staff at Colorado State University say they have been told not to report COVID-19 symptoms, among other measures diminishing health threats, according to Miles Blumhardt of the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
According to the report, coaches have also threatened players with reduced playing time if they quarantine and players also allege that the school is adjusting its contact tracing reports to keep practices ongoing.
"I believe there is a cover-up going on at CSU,'' one current football player told the Coloradoan. "But they could only cover it up so long and now that we have so many cases across athletics, they can’t cover it up anymore.
