MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 DENVER -- Prospective Colorado football players were recruited with sex parties where women say they were raped, and school officials have resisted demands to stop the practice, according to depositions of a prosecutor and a police officer. Boulder County District Attorney Mary Keenan, a potential witness in a federal lawsuit filed by a woman who says she was raped at a 2001 party attended by football recruits, made the statement during an October deposition, which was obtained by KUSA-TV. School officials have denied Keenan's accusations. In her statement, Keenan said she met with athletic department officials after a 17-year-old girl reported she was raped by a football player or a recruit at a party in 1997. Keenan said she met with university officials again after a woman said she was raped at the 2001 party. Keenan said she didn't believe school officials took her complaints seriously. Keenan said she was told by a former Colorado athletic department official that athletic director Dick Tharp and football coach Gary Barnett decided against any changes. "They decided, after discussing the history, that they would not change anything because they could not afford to lose the competitive edge against universities such as Oklahoma [and] Nebraska," Keenan said. Barnett and Tharp denied the accusations. "That is absolutely a 100 percent out-and-out lie," Barnett said in Thursday's Denver Post. "I can't fathom why anyone would imply that, say that, or make that up. It is a lie." In another deposition in the lawsuit, university police officer Timothy Delaria described another 2001 party as "some kind of sex party for the recruits." Delaria's deposition, made in May 2003, said recruits were shown a pornographic video and told that easy sex was a benefit of playing at Colorado. Delaria, discussing a transcript of a police interview with a football recruit, said the recruit told officers, "They told us, you know, 'This is what you get when you come to Colorado.' " Keenan and Delaria gave their depositions as part of a lawsuit filed by Lisa Simpson, who contended she was sexually assaulted by two men at the 2001 party. Simpson filed her case anonymously but later said she wanted to set an example that victims need not feel ashamed. Prosecutors filed no sexual assault charges after the party because they said they did not think they could be proved. Four players were charged with providing marijuana and alcohol to minors. Another woman has filed a lawsuit against the university saying she, too, was sexually assaulted at the party. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1721912 Wow.

lomasmoney 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 man I wish the schools that recruited me had sex parties otherwise instead of being a generic nerd here at u of m i would be at siena heights living the life of a division whatever CC superstar. Michigan couldn't have these parties if they tried since we have to import the few hot pieces of ass we have here from NY, Cali, and pretty much any where but Michigan. All of Michigan's really hot girls either go to Central, Wastern, or State. Why I passed up a damn near free education at CMU i will never know. It would have helped if my school guidance people actually told me Central was offering me mad scholarship money before I was done with classes and ready to graduate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Well raping girls at sex parties is a new twist but having female students fuck recruits is nothing new at these schools. I remember Real Sports ran a story a couple of years ago about Oregon having a group of female students who's main job appeared to be having sex with recruits.

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 I know for sure that some more "minor" stuff like this happens at lower-level D-I schools. One of my friends that is going on a basketball full ride to Northern Illinois recently was checking out a different campus on an official visit, and he got some time in a strip club during the visit.

lomasmoney 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 at a school like OU or Michigan probably, a kid I know who went to a "rival" high school that was by far the worst team in the league and didn't win a game in the league from my 7th grade year to my 12th grade year, walked on here and actually has played in a few games which is quite the accomplishment and caught a nice 20 yard pass against Notre Dame, told me he has gotten triple the ass since he joined the team, and from hanging out with the guy one night, its true and i must imagine what the star players get. Well from the party i went to after the Rose Bowl clincher vs OSU, the players love hot blondes because thats all that I saw at the party Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
