Tucker received a 10-year, $95 million contract extension from Michigan State in 2021, but the contract included a clause that stated Tucker could be fired for cause if he “engaged in any conduct which constitutes moral turpitude or, which in the university's reasonable judgment, would tend to bring public disrespect, contempt, or ridicule.
