After word came out Saturday evening that Mel Tucker is under smoke for sexual assault allegations relating to a 2022 incident with rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy, Tucker, who reportedly masturbated during a phone call with Tracy (then later threatening her), is losing almost all his supports in East Lansing.
My Initial Reaction:
1. Mel Tucker needs to be fired (or at least suspended) right now
2. How could anyone think it was fine to let him keep coaching?
3. The University and athletic department have failed us again
4. I have lost trust in pretty much the entire University

Lansing Journalist Graham Couch:
Mel Tucker has likely coached his last game at Michigan State.

Mel is 100% done. Even if he is innocent of sexual harassment, he’s unfit to lead young men.
How can you try and be a role model and leader for 18-22 year olds and tell them to make good decisions while you’re out doing stuff like this?
