In December 2019, he was notably excluded from Northwestern's early signees in the 2020 recruiting class. The alleged sexual assault occurred aboard a party bus on September 15, 2018. A victim alleged that Atkinson began to touch her inappropriately after she became intoxicated and was incapacitated. She also alleged that his behavior continued throughout the night. More charges were added three months later after other allegations of inappropriate conduct were brought to police. At the time, Atkinson and all victims were minors. During the fallout of the scandal, a social worker at the school was charged with failing to report child abuse after it was alleged that a victim had told her about the assaults, though she was later acquitted by jury.

The case was reported on by the USA Today, the Denver Post, and the Boulder Daily Camera, among other publications.
