Longtime University of Colorado Associate Athletic Director/Sports Information Director David Plati will be honored with the FWAA’s Lifetime Achievement award. Plati has been a staple of CU’s sports information office for the past 41-plus years.
From Bill McCartney to Mel Tucker, he’s attended and worked well over 400 football games, including 410 straight from November 19, 1983 to October 7, 2017. “What does it all mean?” Plati wrote about the streak. “Was I either too dumb to leave or did no one ever want to hire me? Truth is, I got my dream job when I was 24 and even though we’ve had some rough times to endure at CU, the bad has never come close to outweighing the good.
