The death of MSU football

[Rate This]

To hear that they sat on this until the cat left the bag and went after a mouse is rather disheartening.

The details of Title IX investigations are usually confidential until the hearing. The only thing that university leadership and the AD knew was that an investigation was taking place. The only parties privy to the details were Tucker and his lawyer, Tracy and her lawyer, and the Title IX department at MSU.

That's why university leadership and the AD didn't know the details until Tracy went public with it to USA Today.

Michigan State University allowed coach Mel Tucker to continue coaching the football program for 10 months following a sexual harassment complaint made against him, and while doing so, it kept half of the university's board in the dark about the investigation into the allegations, two sources told The Detroit News.

According to the two sources familiar with how the elected board officials were notified of the Title IX complaint against Tucker made by Brenda Tracy, an advocate against sexual assault and rape victim who was hired to conduct training with MSU's football program, half of the eight-member MSU Board of Trustees learned details of the complaint and subsequent investigation Sunday from media reports, just hours before his suspension.

The others — members of the board’s committee on audit, risk and compliance, including trustees Dan Kelly, Renee Knake Jefferson and Brianna Scott — were briefed in December about the complaint by Athletic Director Alan Haller, interim President Teresa Woodruff and General Counsel Brian Quinn, the two sources said. Dianne Byrum, then the board chair, also knew. The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak on the matter, believe half the board wasn't told details to avoid leaks to the public.

It was Haller's and Woodruff’s decision not to suspend Tucker in December or anytime before Sunday, the sources said. Why the decision to suspend Tucker was made Sunday wasn't told to the board members.

10 months is an awfully long time…

Another MSU leadership failure, all the way up to the BoT...

I'm either going with Mel Tugger or The stupidest mother fucking son of a bitch on the planet.

Mel Tugger is concise and to the point.
My opinion of MSU as a University remains unchanged. They certainly are consistent and lead the way in Dark Politics.

Speaking of which, where did the "Knew, didn't know" trustee members fall politically?

The only question I have about her is why did she delete all her text messages with him.

There is no such thing as delete in this day and age.

I asked my ex son in law about this. He is a WCSO detective who has 80 plus hours of cell phone forensic training from the FBI. According to him a deleted text could be recovered or could be gone forever and you don't know which till you try.

I like "Mel Tugger," Honeyman. Nicely done!

Either way it looks like an 80 million dollar hand job and he supplied the hand.

Texts might remain on Tucker's phone.

And of course, the shellacking of MSU by Washington this weekend can only been seen on the 'cock.

Fuck him.

Fuck him.

So what if he turns out to be right?

I'm sure some of what he says is true. Even if all of it is, I still think he should be fired. Tracy is a self professed career victim. It's how she makes her living. For a man in his position to have anything to do with her is simply incomprehensible to me. How he could ignore how radioactive she could be is just absurd. That lack of judgement alone is grounds for dismissal.

Then there's this shit:

"I can only conclude that there is an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract based on some other factor, such as a desire to avoid any Nasser taint, or my race or gender," Tucker, who is Black, said in the statement.

Fuck you! Playing the race card?!? There are tons of things you can rail on the MSU football program that deserves criticism. But not of the university's history with people of color.
