55 Epic On and Off-the-Field Football Scandals That Ruined Careers and Shocked Fans
Gary Barnett Suspended for His Statements on Katie Hnida
Katharine Anne Hnida played college football as a placekicker for the New Mexico Lobos. Hnida claimed to have been physically molested by a member of the Colorado Buffaloes during her days with them.
Gary Barnett, the Buffaloes’ head coach, made some insensitive comments about the entire incident, stating that Katie was not good enough for the team and none of the players wanted her to be present during the games. He was severely criticized and later suspended during the off-season in 2004.
