Paul Steinbach Headshot

The University of Colorado has hired attorneys who specialize in institutional response to sexual violence and gender-based harassment to review the university's handling of domestic violence allegations against a former assistant football coach.

According to the Daily Camera, Leslie Gomez and Gina Maisto Smith will be examining the case of Joe Tumpkin, whose ex-girlfriend complained to CU head coach Mike MacIntyre in Deceember that Tumpkin had abused her repeatedly over two years. Tumpkin was allowed to call defensive plays in the Buffaloes' Dec. 29 appearance in the Alamo Bowl. He was suspended by the athletic department on Jan. 6 and asked to resign on Jan. 27. On Feb. 1, he was arrested and later charged with five felony counts of second-degree assault.
