MICHIGAN STATE FIRED MEL TUCKER WITH CAUSE TO SAVE $80 MILLION … BUT IF HE WAS WINNING, IT WOULD’VE BEEN THERAPY AND A SUSPENSION by GLENN GUILBEAU September 27, 2023 https://www.outkick.com/michigan-state-fired-mel-tucker-with-cause-to-save-80-million-but-if-he-was-winning-it-wouldve-been-therapy-and-a-suspension/ “The flimsy foundation of the university’s finding — a private relationship involving mutual flirting and one instance of phone sex — falls far short of the mark,” Tucker’s attorney Jennifer Belveal said. Michigan State saw it differently. Or, rather, saw an opportunity to not pay $80 million to a coach who fell to 5-7 overall and 3-6 in the Big Ten in 2022. That was after an 11-2 and 7-2 mark in 2021 when he drew interest for LSU’s coaching job.The powers at Michigan State then ridiculously updated Tucker’s contract to $95 million over 10 years through 2031. Since Michigan State is firing Tucker with cause, it will likely only be out $15 million of that contract update.“Disappointed, but not surprised,” Tucker said Wednesday in a statement. “A cursory reading of the facts and timeline should cause any fair-minded person to conclude that other motives are at play.” Yes, money. Wonder how much of that $80 million Michigan State will give Tracy for her accusations? But you know and I know, if Mel Tucker had gone 12-1 last year and reached the College Football Playoff instead of 5-7, he would still be the coach. And Michigan State would have found the language, the lawyer, and the legal spin to make you believe its coach just made a mistake. Yes former Coach Tucker will sue.
