Brenda Tracy to Sue Michigan State, Mel Tucker for $75M Over Sexual Misconduct

Rape survivor, anti-sexual violence activist and speaker/educator Brenda Tracy seeks over $75 million in damages from Michigan State University, its Board of Trustees and ex-football head coach Mel Tucker for claims including "breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy."

USA Today's Kenny Jacoby relayed the news Friday regarding the intent-to-sue notices, which were filed in Michigan's Court of Claims on behalf of both Tracy and her nonprofit, Set The Expectation.

Tracy seeks $50 million for herself as well as $25 million for her nonprofit, per the notices, which serve as a "mandatory precursor to filing a lawsuit against a government agency," according to Jacoby.
