Colorado Chancellor Suspended, Athletic Director And Head Coach Fined Over Assistant's Alleged Domestic Violence
A law firm found the university responsible for three failures:
* a failure to report domestic violence allegations;
* a failure to report the information to law enforcement officials; and
* a failure of supervision of coach Tumpkin.
Colorado chancellor Phil DiStefano will be suspended 10 days and athletic director Rick George and head football coach Mike MacIntyre will each be required to donate $100,000 to domestic violence awareness for their handling of domestic violence allegations against former assistant coach Joe Tumpkin.

Of course, MacIntyre had first brought the allegations to Georges attention nearly a month before. George ultimately decided to suspend Tumpkinbut a week after Colorado had played (and lost) its bowl game.
