An external investigation into how the University of Colorado handled domestic abuse accusations against a former assistant football coach is "really close" to being completed, an official said, but won't be done in time for a Board of Regents meeting that tentatively had been set for next week.

CU's regents had scheduled a possible meeting Wednesday in hopes they would learn the final results of the investigation into the university's conduct in response to allegations against former safeties coach Joe Tumpkin.

"We understand folks' perception that it is taking a long time," CU spokesman Ken McConnellogue wrote in an e-mail to the Daily Camera.
