BOULDER — What's next?
That was the question of the day for the Colorado Athletic Department — and every other Pac-12 school — on Wednesday, one day after the conference announced that all fall sports would be postponed at least until Jan. 1, with men's and women's basketball also being shoehorned into the one-size-fits-all dictum.
"It was a difficult and painful decision," CU Athletic Director Rick George said in a Wednesday conference call with the media. "I'm incredibly disappointed for our student-athletes who won't be able to participate this fall."
The conference's decision, reached unanimously by school presidents and chancellors, became even more difficult to accept in Boulder because of the Buffaloes' recent success in containing the spread of the coronavirus among student-athletes.
