Former Boston College Football Coach Steve Addazio and Colorado State Football Staff Face Allegations of Racism and Verbal Abuse in Addition to Mishandling COVID-19

Former Boston College football coach Steve Addazio and the Colorado State football program have come under fire multiple times this past week, resulting in a complete pause of the program.

Early in the week, a number of players and staff expressed concerns about how Addazio and his staff were handling COVID-19. Allegations included that coaches were telling players not to report symptoms, that contact tracing reports were being altered, and that players were threatened with reduced playing time if they ended up quarantining. It has also been alleged that Addazio and other coaches are reluctant to wear masks.
