Michigan State informed football coach Mel Tucker he will be fired September 26th for cause. The school suspended Tucker on September 10th following sexual assault allegations made by Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault victims advocate and rape victim. The school hired Tracy to speak to the football team about sexual violence. During an investigation Tucker admitted to having phone sex with Tracy. He claimed it was consensual. She said it was not. Tucker will have 7 days to respond to the notice of termination as per his contract. In 2021, Mel Tucker signed a 10-year 95 million dollar contract with the school. Tucker claims the accusations against him are false and the school is using them to get out of his massive contract.
