Michigan State University formally served a notice of termination to former football head coach Mel Tucker.
In a written statement, University Athletic Director Alan Haller stated:
“I, with the support of administration and board, have provided Mel Tucker with written notice of intent to terminate his contract for cause…. This action does not conclude the ongoing Office for Civil Rights case; that rigorous process will continue.”
Mel Tucker was suspended last Monday after USA TODAY detailed Title IX accusations made against the coach. According to the report, a vendor of the University accused Mel Tucker of sexual harassment.
