EAST LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan State University is firing head football Coach Mel Tucker for alleged sexual harassment.
The university announced Monday that it was terminating Tucker’s contract for cause. This comes after the coach was suspended earlier this month over allegations of sexual misconduct involving a prominent rape survivor and activist.
Tucker signed a ten year $95 million contract less than two years ago.
He has one week to make his case to MSU athletic director Alan Haller and interim president Teresa Woodruff that he should not be “terminated for cause.”
