Mike MacIntyre enjoyed a dream of a breakthrough season that ended in a 3-year, $16.25 million contract extension.

Events that occurred between the end of the season and the announcement of that extension have now put the deal in jeopardy.

While awaiting a flight home from the Home Depot college football awards show in early December, MacIntyre received a call from Joe Tumpkin’s longtime girlfriend, where the woman confessed years of physical abuse at the hands of the CU assistant.

I used to tell her if you asking me to run background checks that’s your intuition telling you this guy is no good and to run the hell away.

She dated one guy that had a rap sheet 32 pages long.
