As the summer offseason continues across the NCAA, University of Colorado Boulder Athletic Director Rick George addressed the media on Thursday to address a variety of topics surrounding the state of CU athletics.
In particular, George provided his thoughts on coming out of a pandemic year, the Pac-12’s leadership change, CU Olympians, student-athletes taking advantage of name, image and likeness (NIL) freedoms and the future.
Reflecting on 2020-21
COVID-19 protocols are finally being lifted and life on campus is returning to relative normalcy. Nevertheless, George wanted to make it clear that the past year was especially difficult for CU student-athletes who already manage an intense workload between classes and their athletic commitments.
