New Year’s Plati’Tudes
The 2007-08 athletic season is at its midway point, and in the latest edition of his blog, Plati-’Tudes, CU Associate Athletic Director David Plati looks back at the fall, ahead to the spring and jumps from subject to subject as is his way.
Basketball scholarships in the works
A group of former CU basketball players are organizing an effort to endow two basketball scholarships at CU in memory of former head basketball coach Sox Walseth (PE’48, MEdu’53). Sox and CU basketball were synonymous for over 60 years. The goal is to fully fund two scholarships, one for the men’s program and one for the women’s. For additional information e-mail Scott McMichael at the CU Foundation or call 303-492-5695.
