Sounds like a lot of money for something that didn't happen? or maybe it did?

DENVER -- The University of Colorado has agreed to pay two women $2.85 million to settle a lawsuit alleging they were sexually assaulted by football players and recruits, school officials said Wednesday.

University spokesman Ken McConnellogue said the school also agreed to hire an adviser to monitor compliance with federal Title IX laws governing equal treatment of women and add a position in the university Office of Victim Assistance.

University President Hank Brown planned to discuss the settlement at a news conference later Wednesday.

Baine Kerr, the attorney for one of the women, did not immediately return a call.

Werent the allegations several years ago?

Yup. Under the Gary Barnett reign. I think they have a new AD and President now, besides a new HC.
