Colorado-Oregon Football Data Breach Allegations Dismissed

Colorado's football program, led by coach Deion Sanders, accused Oregon of unauthorized access to their practice videos and data following a 42-6 defeat last season. Despite the allegations, Colorado did not provide evidence to the Pac-12, and an independent investigation by Catapult, the video replay system used by Colorado, found no signs of a security breach. Both the Pac-12 and Catapult took the claims seriously, even considering an FBI investigation, but the lack of evidence led to no further action. Oregon denied the accusations, stating there was no credibility to them. The incident highlights growing concerns over cybersecurity in college football, especially with new technologies being integrated into the sport. After realignment, Colorado and Oregon are now in different conferences and are not scheduled to meet again in the foreseeable future.
