Mike MacIntyre contract approval on hold pending review of CU's handling of Joe Tumpkin case

The University of Colorado's regents plan to postpone a vote on whether football coach Mike MacIntyre should get a contract extension and a raise as they await the results of an external investigation into CU's handling of domestic violence allegations against a former assistant coach.

In early January, the Athletic Department announced that MacIntyre had signed a $16.25 million contract extension through 2021, noting that the deal was subject to approval by the Board of Regents.

The board had planned to take up the contract extension at its regular meeting this week on the Boulder campus, but instead plans to vote on it at some later date, after the regents better understand how top university officials acted upon learning of the allegations against Joe Tumpkin.
