Kiszla: Giving CU coach Mike MacIntyre $16.25 million contract now would send the wrong message

It stings like a slap in the face.

In the same week the University of Colorado gave football coach Mike MacIntyre a letter of reprimand and a $100,000 slap on the wrist for his involvement in the mishandling of domestic violence accusations brought against one of the program’s top assistants, the Board of Regents is also going to finalize a new $16.25 million contract for MacIntyre?

Pardon me while I take a shower to wash off the dirty business of college football. It seems as if important teaching moments at the state’s flagship university take a backseat to pursuit of a conference championship.
