COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Boise State will give Colorado State’s defense plenty to think about.

FLA.» Leadership ORLANDO, positions at Football Bowl Subdivisio­n schools continue to be dominated by white men, according to a diversity report released Wednesday.

The annual report card from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport gave top-level college sports an overall grade of D+ for race and gender hiring in leadership positions, with a D+ for racial hiring and an F for gender hiring.

“If these were the grades of a college student, they’d either be expelled or suspended,” said Richard Lapchick, the primary author of the report and director of the University of Central Florida-based institute.

“Neither (racial or gender) grade at the college level is where it should be, or even close,” he added.

The study examined the race and gender of top positions such as college and university presidents, athletic directors and faculty athletics representa­tives for the 130 schools in the FBS, as well as the racial compositio­n of the football coaching staffs and rosters.

The results indicate little deviation from the findings in 2016, and show that when all leadership positions were combined, there were “minor increases” in the representa­tion of women and people of color.
