MacIntyre contract approved in 8-0 vote

If Rick George & Coach Mac are being fined 100k by the school, how does that work? I know pro teams do it now and again, but typically just to the players. IMO, the regents should have just asked them to make the donation of 100k and kept it among themselves instead of dragging them thru the court of public opinion. Asswipes!!

I believe they are considered 'voluntary donations'
 
Rooney comes out pretty negative in the Camera today. Somehow, he just assumes that MMac and the university are responsible somehow for the whole mess and punishment should have been greater. He suggests that the contract extension should have been delayed by a year or included a multi game suspension in the fall. While I think OIEC or the police should have been notified, these calls for action are too extreme.

In the present day, people HAVE TO say **** like that. I hate it. The current extreme PC culture means that you're either 100%, no questions asked on the victim's side, or you're rape-enabling scum. Asking reasonable questions about these scenarios is just latched onto by the zealots as indications of your hatred for women.

Rant over.

I was just thinking that last night. It's an obvious thing that no one is pro-abuse. But some people try to label any dissenters to any victim advocacy suggestion as being exactly that. And in that environment, public figures including media walk on eggshells and out-do each other in their rhetoric as they try to prove themselves to be absolutely pro-victim & anti-abuse. They want to unequivocally be on that moral high ground. We've been good about avoiding it on this site in our little community, I think.
 
Seems like articles similar to Rooney's are the reason people are so reluctant to get involved with issues like this in the first place. I am sure when Mac got that call the first thing that popped into his head was how the media could somehow make him out to be the bad guy in all of this. Journalists think they are doing the right thing by being harsh but it seems to do the opposite. Could Mac have handled it better? No question and that goes for everyone involved but then you have places like Footballscoop making Mac out to be the devil so they can act like they helped change things.
 
Rooney - "For the football-at-all-costs crowd it was a welcome relief, an opportunity to turn the page and look forward to the CSU Rams on Sept. 1."

Are there enough "football-at-all-costs" CU fans to create a crowd? This fan base is about as far from that as I've seen from a P5 program that isn't a quasi Ivy type school.
 
Trying to sell newspapers (because print media is all the rage these days)! ESPN and FOX, etc... have moved on, the Camera and Post should as well.

Yep. That opinion piece seemed formulated. The hand of an editor was in there trying to stir up clicks.

Exactly why I refuse to click the link or even visit the site at this point.

They are obviously trying to entice responses. Mine is simple - I refuse to read the flea infested, e-coli saturated, diarrhea you've written.

"You" meaning Clean Undies, or the swine at the flailing news outlets? 'Cause that thread was really squeezing out some beauties (for a little while)!

I don't get this point of view at all- CU could have very well done nothing.

I personally was of the opinion that they ****ed up, but most of that blame should have resided with Phil- not the AD. All indications are that the AD did what counsel and the chancellor told them to do, but they still should have known to report it to OIEC. I thought the penalties for the AD were very much in line with the magnitude of the ****up (small, but not insignificant). However, Phil's penalty was so much lighter than it should have been that it's laughable.

Why does that guy always seem to skate?

Teflon Phil?

Because it hasn't really been discussed on AB, here are the buyout numbers... I'm not sure how to read this. Does it mean that each of those buyout numbers are independent from one another, meaning if he leaves in calendar year 2017, he only owes $2.3m, or is it the entire yearly buyout sum of $8.1m that is owed?
BUYOUT
The liquidated damages section of MacIntyre's contract does not appear to have changed from the original contract. Here is what MacIntyre must pay CU if he terminates his contract early:
  • 1. If deal terminated in first contract year (2017): $2.3 million
  • 2. If deal terminated in second contract year (2018): $1.9 million
  • 3. If deal terminated in third contract year (2019): $1.6 million
  • 4. If deal terminated in fourth contract year (2020): $1.3 million
  • 5. If deal terminated in fifth contract year (2021): $1 million
If MacIntyre is fired without cause, he is entitled to claim the remaining balance of his base and supplemental salary, as well as the total amount for items 1, 2 and 3 of incentive salary listed above.

MM needs to put in the first 2 or 3 years of this contract and then go all out on getting a good HC job.

100% spot on.

Just the 2.3 mill, not the sum of the amounts.

That is a ridiculously low buyout, especially when you consider he probably wouldn't actually leave until 2018 calendar year when it drops to $1.9m. Basically zero security from any SEC just finding that money in the couch cushions and poaching him.

We'll never know what he thinks, but I'm sure this recent Kangaroo Court was an eye-opener for him.

I think he got a good deal regarding punishment. He could have very well been fired or suspended at another school. I applaud Salazar for mitigating the damage and punishment. In the end, another school might have reacted much more negatively to being "guilty (sorry, I don't know a better word) on 6 findings in the report, especially violation of the Regent's Clause.
