EAST LANSING, MI — A new college football season is almost here and now Michigan State University is dealing with a new lawsuit filed by the program’s former head coach.
According to reporting from various media outlets, Mel Tucker has filed suit against the university. Tucker seeks financial compensation in the lawsuit, but the amount remains unknown. The school owed him another $80 million at the time of his firing last fall.
That lawsuit was filed Wednesday in federal court in Grand Rapids. Tucker accused the school of wrongful termination and defamation in connection to the sexual harassment scandal that played out through the early past of the 2023 season.
Listed as defendants in this lawsuit are former Interim President Teresa Woodruff, Athletic Director Alan Haller, and all eight MSU Board of Trustees members.
The East Lansing school has not commented on the latest lawsuit.
