LONE TREE — A shot clock for Colorado high school basketball will have to wait. The amendment to institute a 35-second shot clock failed in Tuesday’s Legislative Committee meeting by a 43-28 vote at the DSCD Legacy Campus, and a second vote to make the shot clock for varsity only also failed, 47-22. “I think as a state, we’re in a good place of why the shot clock should exist, in terms of how the game’s played, developing players, developing the game, spectators enjoying the game more,” Chaparral athletic director and basketball committee member Rob Johnson said. “I don’t think…

State regulators can continue freezing the bank accounts of an online pastor from Denver and his wife who have admitted selling millions of dollars in worthless cryptocurrency. Denver District Court Judge David Goldberg ruled Monday that Eli and Kaitlyn Regalado, along with their companies and church, cannot access their allegedly ill-gotten gains. He also barred the local couple from selling their cryptocurrency or other investments in Colorado. “This case is a sad case for me. It’s one of the more egregious cases I have seen where someone in the name of faith, the name of God, preyed upon his congregants…

A “doxxing truck” sent by a conservative group arrived at the University of Colorado Boulder campus Tuesday displaying images and names of Ethnic Studies Department faculty members. The truck was spotted outside the Hale Science building while showing headshots of faculty members under the headline “Boulder’s Leading Antisemites.” The campaign is being run by the Accuracy in Media group, and similar trucks have been spotted at campuses across the country since November. The campaign’s stop in Boulder comes after CU’s Ethnic Studies Department released a controversial statement in October expressing support for Palestinians during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The statement…

Two northern Colorado veterinary clinics are accusing a pet cemetery and crematory of fraudulent practices, alleging in a new lawsuit that employees disposed of pets’ bodies in landfills and mass graves while billing the clinics for cremations. Precious Memories Pet Cemetery & Crematory in Fort Collins failed to correctly provide the services it advertised, performing incorrect cremations, improperly disposing of ashes of animals and mishandling other services, including providing clay pawprint impressions of the wrong pets, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Larimer County District Court. The clinics — Edwards Veterinary Care in Greeley and Western Skies End-of-Life Veterinary…

MOBILE, Ala. — Bo Nix is back home this week. The road to get to the Senior Bowl, though, traversed thousands of miles. Nix, considered by many evaluators the top quarterback at this collegiate all-star game and a potential first-round pick in April’s draft, was born in Arkansas but attended high school in Pinson, Ala., just north of Birmingham and about a four-hour drive from here. He played his first four years of college in the state, too, three hours northeast at Auburn. In search of a revival, though, Nix went all the way to Oregon, then saw his football…

LONE TREE — Colorado high schools are about to make a lot more money hosting playoff games and events. The CHSAA Legislative Council voted to amend the association’s tournament and playoff finance structure on Tuesday at the DCSD Legacy Campus. Previously, host schools paid a percentage of their playoff gate revenue to CHSAA and also a portion to help reimburse visiting teams for traveling. But under the new amendment — which passed overwhelmingly via a 56-14 vote — each member school will now pay an annual playoff fee to CHSAA, with the amount based on what basketball classification that school…

Deion Sanders still doesn’t have a defensive coordinator. He also doesn’t technically have his gifted Colorado dream house … yet. In a viral video posted by Deion Sanders Jr.’s Well Off Media channel last weekend, the CU football coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer was shown around a home worth $7.2 million between Boulder and Golden near Highway 93. Multiple outlets reported that the property had been purchased by the coach’s sons as a gift to him. However, records indicate it was still listed for purchase as of early Monday evening by Compass real estate agent Amanda Fein. The…

Denver International Airport will bring in a new shuttle operator next year to transport passengers and employees to and from its parking lots after the City Council on Monday approved a contract potentially worth $371 million.

DIA’s contract with LAZ will start in February 2025 and stands as the airport’s largest single operations agreement. The council approved the nine-figure contract on Monday as part of a block vote, without discussion. The company is…
