Michigan State University plans to fire head football coach Mel Tucker. Athletic Director Alan Haller said in a statement released on Monday afternoon that the school has notified Tucker of its intent to terminate his contract. Tucker, whom the university hired in 2020 and signed to a long-term contract extension the following year, is currently suspended without pay following a USA Today story that detailed the sexual harassment complaint filed against him in late December. Brenda Tracy, a prominent national advocate for abuse survivors, reported to the university that Tucker subjected her to unwanted phone sex in April 2022. Tucker has denied sexually harassing Tracy, saying they had a consensual intimate relationship. The investigation into Tucker's behavior remains ongoing.
