Michigan State Takes Steps to Terminate Mel Tucker Amidst Allegations

Michigan State has notified football coach Mel Tucker of its intent to terminate his contract for cause following an investigation into sexual harassment allegations. Tucker has seven days to respond and present reasons why he should not be fired. If he fails to do so, he will be terminated on September 26. The school alleges that Tucker's behavior violated the terms of his contract, which required him to conduct himself professionally and ethically. The investigation will continue regardless of Tucker's participation or job status. Tucker could potentially lose over $70 million of his $95 million deal.
