Woelk: It's Not About Football; CU Student-Athlete Health Initiatives Will Benefit Entire University

Glenn Asakawa, University of Colorado

BOULDER — It's not just about football.

That might have been the most positive takeaway from Thursday afternoon's presentation by the University of Colorado's Athletic Department to the CU Board of Regents. Several members of the board listened, learned and expressed a firm desire to move the conversation on student-athlete health and wellness forward in a positive direction.

It is, quite clearly, the most productive path. As the University of Colorado continues to cement its standing as a national leader in the area of student-athlete health, it can be another area in which CU can put itself in the spotlight for all the right reasons.
