Rick George optimistic with future of CU athletics during coronavirus

Thursday, University of Colorado Athletic Director Rick George held an online press conference to offer an update on CU athletics.

George began the conference discussing the annual CU Sports Performer of the Year Awards (CUSPY’s) that took place earlier in the week. The CUSPY’s is an annual event put on by the athletic department to celebrate Colorado’s premier student-athletes. Although it was virtual, he was happy with the school’s ability to make the event still feel meaningful during this tough time.

“It’s one of the great nights that we have here,” George said. “All of our student-athletes dress up, they choose who the award winners are, they vote on them and then they get an opportunity to announce those winners.
