Mel Tucker, Michigan State football coach, faces suspension without pay amidst sexual misconduct investigation

Hindustan Times  

On Sunday, Michigan State University made the announcement that it has suspended its head football coach, Mel Tucker, without pay, while awaiting the resolution of a sexual misconduct investigation involving him. EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN - SEPTEMBER 09: Mel Tucker head coach of the Michigan State Spartans looks on before a game against the Richmond Spiders at Spartan Stadium on September 09, 2023 in East Lansing, Michigan. Mike Mulholland/Getty Images/AFP The university’s Vice President and Athletic Director Alan Haller said in a news conference that he made the decision to suspend Tucker “with the support of university leadership” and as an “additional interim measure while the investigation continues.” Tucker, who is in his fourth season with the Spartans, is accused of sexually harassing Brenda Tracy, a rape survivor and activist, during a phone call in April 2022. The head football coach admitted to masturbating, but claimed it was consensual “phone sex.” Tracy filed a complaint with the university’s Title IX office in December, which Haller said he was aware of.
