The disrespect comes from tying MacIntyre's contract extension and raise to the results of the independent investigation.
What if the investigators discover that the university lied and knew of Tumpkin's TRO before the Alamo Bowl? In that scenario there should be a little hell to pay.
If it's confirmed that the Boulder Camera broke the news to CU about the TRO on Jan 6th, consistent with what has been reported, then it's much easier to justify learning from the experience and moving on.
Either way it turns out, holding MacIntyre's money hostage to some prolonged investigation seems like the wrong way to go.
As a measure of good faith, atleast pay the man his money. To do otherwise is basically assuming that he is guilty until proven innocent.
Prolonged investigation? Based on what?
The hyperbolic statements on both sides are getting tiresome. I believe the investigation will clear MacIntyre, his extension will be approved shortly after, and everyone will move on. On the off chance MacIntyre did something egregiously wrong, why would you approve the extension before the investigation?
