Michigan State Spartans (official thread)

Mel Tucker denies harassment claims, calls MSU hearing 'ridiculously flawed'​

Suspended Michigan State coach Mel Tucker adamantly denied claims that he sexually harassed noted sexual assault awareness speaker Brenda Tracy in a statement Monday and called an upcoming hearing about the claims "a sham."

Tucker, in a statement issued Monday through his attorney Jennifer Belveal, said he developed an "intimate, adult relationship" with Tracy and that her claims that he harassed her are "completely false." He said an upcoming hearing to assess whether he violated university policy is "ridiculously flawed and not designed to arrive at the truth."

"While I am saddened by Ms. Tracy's disclosure of the sensitive nature of this call, let me be perfectly clear -- it was an entirely mutual, private event between two adults living at the opposite ends of the country," Tucker's statement reads. "She initiated the discussion that night, sent me a provocative picture of the two of us together, suggested what she may look like without clothes, and never once during the 36 minutes did she object in any manner, much less hang up the phone."

"I can only conclude that there is an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract based on some other factor, such as a desire to avoid any Nasser taint, or my race or gender," Tucker, who is Black, said in the statement.

If he has said provocative photo she sent and/or they can tell she didn’t hang up for over 36 minutes or whatever….you’d think his lawyers will have a field day.

Yea i think banking on that Title IX stuff will end bad for Sparty.
Not that i care. Freeze got nothing for making calls to an escort. The second Mel describes this as a sugar relationship... it's prostitution... moral turpitude achieved... cya.
