Colorado regents unanimously approved head coach Mike MacIntyre’s previously-announced contract extension on Thursday.

The new contract was originally announced in January, but approval by the board of regents was held back following a Sports Illustrated story that detailed abuse of a long-time girlfriend of then-safeties coach Joe Tumpkin and MacIntyre’s response therein. The school hired a third-party to investigation the situation and found MacIntyre withheld critical information that violated the wording of his contract — allowing the board to fire him with cause, if it so chose.

The board didn’t fire MacIntyre, obviously, and instead approved the extension that will pay him $16.25 million through the 2021 season. His 2017 salary will be $3.1 million. MacIntyre made just over $2 million before bonuses in 2016.

quote:

1: On the morning of Dec. 9, MacIntyre received a call from the longtime girlfriend of safeties coach Joe Tumpkin saying Tumpkin had repeatedly and violently beat her. The two speak for 34 minutes, during which she details nearly two years of physical abuse. MacIntyre asks if the woman is safe, she says she is.

2: Precisely a week later, MacIntyre announces Tumpkin will run the defense and serve as defensive play caller for the Buffaloes’ Alamo Bowl appearance December 29th against Oklahoma State (defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt had accepted the same role at Oregon).

3: Tumpkin is suspended on Jan. 6 after The Boulder Daily Camera obtained a copy of the temporary protection order (TPO) and ran a story about it.

4: In late January, Tumpkin resigned from his job at Colorado and was charged with five felony counts and three misdemeanor counts of assault.

5: Colorado regents delay approval of a previously-announced $16 million extension for MacIntyre.


Here is what we learned following the release of a 4-month, third-party investigation:


1: MacIntyre’s 34 minute initial call with Tumpkin’s girlfriend occurred at 6AM December 9th. 13 hours later, MacIntyre made his first outreach to his AD. During that time, the report states MacIntyre made or received approximately 20 phone calls including 4 to his agent.

2: MacIntyre did not actually get in touch with his AD until the morning of the 10th. At 9:31 that morning MacIntyre called & engaged a private criminal defense attorney who had previously represented players “adverse to the University” in Title IX proceedings. This attorney “served as MacIntyre’s advisor during his second, third and fourth interviews” for the report. In explaining why he engaged the attorney MacIntyre stated, “When it is this magnitude, I am going to make sure I cover every base; it impacts reputation when it hits.”

3: Later on the 10th, MacIntyre blocked Tumpkin’s girlfriend’s number on his cell phone.

4: MacIntyre and AD Rick George met with Tumpkin on Dec. 11 to inform the assistant his girlfriend had called MacIntyre with her allegations against Tumpkin. The pair tells Tumpkin they did not want to hear anything about the situation so MacIntyre and George “would not be in the position of being witnesses or exercising influence.” George says the meeting lasts two minutes.

5: December 12th the woman sent MacIntyre an iMessage and also left him a voicemail on his cell phone informing him that Tumpkin already had another woman in his apartment, and that she was worried for her safety..

6: Neither MacIntyre, George nor Colorado chancellor Philip DiStefano alerted law enforcement at any point during this time, and MacIntyre did not contact the University’s Title IX OIEC.

7: December 12th, at his request, MacIntyre provided Tumpkin contact information for an attorney who had represented several CU football players in legal matters.

8: The woman iMessaged and left a voicemail for MacIntyre on Dec. 15 saying she is going to file a temporary protection order against Tumpkin the following Monday.

9: December 16th MacIntyre publicly announces Tumpkin will run the defense for the upcoming bowl game.

Do you think he's bothering to clock-in or is whoever would be considered the supervisor just manually inputting 9 AM - 5 PM on the time sheet?

I don't get Shoop's stance here. His contract clearly calls for him to pay it back but all his lawyers are seeming to say is "nope not doing it" without any explanation or defense on why.

quote:

In response to Penn State’s suit, Shoop has now counter-sued his former employer according to PennLive, citing “intolerable” working conditions and stating he did not leave but was forced out of his job. Through his lawyer, Shoop has informed Penn State he does not intend to pay the nearly $900,000 the school says he owes and is instead asking Penn State to pay him $75,000, the minimum amount to get a suit into federal court.

Monken is in his fourth season at West Point; his 8-5 season in 2016 was the Black Knights’ best finish since 1996 — including the academy’s first win over Navy since 2001 — and his current 5-game winning streak is the program’s longest in two decades.

A lot of people act like they know, and there will be more than a few jobs out there. But that isn’t at all what I’m looking to do,” Stoops shared, according to SEC Country.
