Reaction to announcement:

"The recent recruiting scandals are a symptom of a more serious malady, the lack of integration of intercollegiate athletics into the mainstream of a university and the control and accountability that goes with it. For the University of Colorado, Boulder the challenge now is to make its integration plan work and to make its athletics program fully accountable."


Reaction to Action Plan:

"There is no one model that fits every university, and each institution must determine what specific organizational structure will work best for its circumstances. The goal is full integration."


Reaction to personnel decisions:

"Personnel decisions are always within the purview of the university, and it is inappropriate to comment on those."
