Having gone through a sex/recruiting scandal in which the former Athletic Director and others were replaced, the University of Colorado Athletic Department is facing another crisis.
Last week, Head Football Coach Gary Barnett, who survived the scandal was "fired" just before a minor bowl game. The timing seemed strange.
Barnett will not coach the team during that game.
As it turns out a report by state auditors will be released today questioning accounting and expenditures related to Barnett's football camp and expenses for bowl trips.
Speculation is that Barnett will not come out looking very good.
An earlier audit of the main Colorado booster organization questioned large purchases of liquor for events.
A former president and some regents have also left under the cloud of questionable academic creditials and other concerns regarding faculty members.
C.U. should create a course in not shooting itself in the foot.
