Former players from the University of Colorado football team have come forward with shocking allegations against head coach Prime, accusing him of fostering a toxic and dangerous culture within the program. According to multiple sources, players have alleged that Coach Prime not only condoned but encouraged violence, gambling, and even bringing guns into the team facilities.
The allegations, which were first reported by Footballscoop, paint a disturbing picture of the environment within the Colorado football program. Former players have claimed that Coach Prime would pit players against each other in physical altercations, sometimes resulting in serious injuries. One player, who wished to remain anonymous, described an incident where Coach Prime allegedly instructed two players to settle a disagreement with a fight, leading to one player suffering a broken rib.
In addition to the allegations of violence, players have also accused Coach Prime of promoting a culture of gambling within the program. According to sources, Coach Prime would organize high-stakes card games among players, with some players claiming they were pressured to participate or face repercussions. One former player stated that he felt coerced into gambling away hundreds of dollars during his time at Colorado.
Perhaps most alarming are the claims that Coach Prime allowed players to bring guns into the team facilities. Multiple players have alleged that Coach Prime turned a blind eye to players carrying firearms, despite the obvious risks involved. One former player recounted an incident where a teammate brandished a gun during an argument in the locker room, leaving everyone feeling unsafe.
The University of Colorado has issued a statement in response to the allegations, stating that they take them very seriously and are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. Coach Prime has also released a statement denying the allegations, calling them “baseless and unfounded.”
The allegations have sent shockwaves through the college football community, with many calling for a full investigation into the Colorado football program. If the allegations are proven to be true, it could have serious repercussions for Coach Prime and the future of the program. Only time will tell what the investigation will uncover, but one thing is certain – the allegations have cast a dark shadow over the once-proud Colorado football program.
