PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 With all that Michigan State has been through relative to title IX issues, the other question equally relevant is how stupid is MSU? The accusations surfaced last year and they are still investigating unbelievable behavior Tucker does not deny engaging in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDE_OxPx_2010 5,304 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 This is ridiculous. They've known since DECEMBER 2022 and only "fired" him now because the media found out this week. With the history MSU has that's unacceptable. Heads should roll for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost reminiscent of the SMU saga. As though the administration somehow thought they could get through it without it getting into the public domain. Pretty sorry state of affairs for Michigan State alum and fans. I just do not see how they will justify the delayed move to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeTiger 5,133 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 USA Todays story has a lot more details: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2023/09/10/michigan-state-football-coach-sexual-harassment-claim/70679703007/ The level of stupidity shown here by Tucker is indescribable. Some are saying this situation is nothing but a he said/she said, but at least according to the USA today article, This woman has been consistent in her claims and version of events while Tucker first tried to stop the investigation with his legal team by threatening the University, then after delaying his meeting with investigators for months finally did sit down for an interview and proceeded to tell easily disproven lies and inconsistent details about his communication and relationship with the woman. Certainly doesn't look good for Mel here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to say it’s some stupidity on his part along with some realization by the university that he was way overpaid. He’s getting railroaded…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchids 227 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Woman has done this before and it's a he said she said. It's probably consensual but she regretted it or wanted a pay day. In reality, who other than those two really know. Mel should have been smarter though. It's 2023 and he is a man of means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTiger 12,951 Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 As stupid as I think he was to get entangled with someone brought to the University for this purpose, his legal arguments in contesting a firing for cause may be pretty compelling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger1985 809 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 79 million is going to be the most expensive phone call ever. On the radio, hosts said that the woman was supposed to speak to the football team. Mel canceled it and then the complaint was filed. Sounds like revenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,995 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The funny thing or not so funny, is this guy would rather be considered a cheater instead of humbling bowing out. “ I did nothing wrong, I just cheated on my wife.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
