Jacobson's same-colour monochromatic triangle packing conjecture

Let KnK_n be the complete graph on nn vertices with its edges coloured red and blue. A collection of triangles is pairwise edge-disjoint if no edge occurs in more than one triangle. Jacobson's conjecture. Every 22-colouring of KnK_n contains a collection of n2/20+O(n2)n^2/20 + O(n^2) pairwise edge-disjoint monochromatic triangles, all of the same colour. The conjecture is asymptotically tight according to the balanced pentagon blow-up example described in the source; its resolution status is not given.
