EAST LANSING, MI — Whether Mel Tucker ever sees another game on the sideline leading his Michigan State University football team depends on the outcome of a Title IX hearing next month. Tucker is accused of sexually harassing a rape survivor the school hired to speak to Tucker’s team about relational violence.
MSU supended Tucker without pay on Sunday. A Title IX investigation is being conducted by MSU against Tucker for having alleged nonconsensual phone sex with Brenda Tracy. Tracy is often hired by schools to discuss her experience being raped by three Oregon State University players and a high school recruit 25 years ago.
Harlon Barnett is going to be the interim head coach as the Spartans prepare to play Washington on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. Former head football coach Mark Dantonio will also be returning in an associate head coach role, according to the school.
