BOULDER — Colorado Sports Information Director David Plati has worked for six athletic directors, nine head football coaches and seven men's basketball coaches. He has overseen national championship seasons in four sports, and has shepherded the campaigns for a long list of national award winners, including a Heisman Trophy, two Thorpe awards, two Butkus awards, a Mackey winner and literally dozens of football All-Americans.
Now, a man who has spent a career helping others earn recognition is finding himself in the spotlight.
Last summer, Plati was selected for the national College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame.
