Michigan State said Tucker, who is under investigation for a sexual harassment complaint, brought “public disrespect, contempt and ridicule” upon the school.
Sept. 10, hours after the allegations of sexual harassment against him were brought to light. The source of the allegations was Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault survivor and activist, who accused Tucker of making sexually explicit comments and masturbating during a phone call with her in April 2022.
On Sept. 18, Michigan State Athletic Director Alan Haller informed Tucker in a letter that the universityIn a statement the following day, Tucker suggested the school had only moved to terminate him before a hearing about the investigation scheduled for Oct. 5 and 6 because “Ms. Tracy and potentially others leaked the confidential investigation report to the press.”
“I don’t believe MSU plans to fire me because I admitted to an entirely consensual, private relationship with another adult who gave one presentation at MSU, at my behest, over two years ago,” Tucker said.Haller’s notice to Tucker provided him one week to respond with reasons that he should not be fired.
It’s unclear how much, if any, of the roughly $80 million remaining on his contract Michigan State will owe Tucker. Tucker, 51, finishes his career at Michigan State with a 20-14 record, including an 11-2 season in 2021 that culminated with a win over Pittsburgh in the Peach Bowl. The Spartans started this year 2-0 but have lost two straight games by a combined score of 72-16 with Harlon Barnett serving as the acting coach following Tucker’s suspension. Michigan State plays at Iowa on Saturday.
