Michigan State University's head football coach Mel Tucker was suspended without pay on Sunday after USA Today reported on harassment allegations against him. If he gets fired, Tucker stands to lose the remaining $80 million left on his $95 million, 10-year contract.
"It could be a monumental fall for somebody who had reached the upper echelon of college sports coaches," said Kenny Jacoby, an investigative reporter for USA Today who broke the news of the allegations.
USA Today says it was contacted by Brenda Tracy, a prominent rape survivor and sexual awareness expert hired by Tucker to speak with the team. She filed a complaint in December 2022 alleging that during a phone call in April that year, Tucker made sexual comments to her and masturbated without her consent, Jacoby said.
