Michigan State University has informed Mel Tucker<\/strong> of its plans to fire him … just days after the suspended Spartans football coach was accused of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n

Rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy<\/strong> recently claimed Tucker made unsolicited sexual comments<\/strong> and masturbated during an April 2022 phone call … which led to a formal Title IX complaint and investigation.<\/p>\n

Tucker was suspended on Sept. 10 … and on Monday, the school announced its plans to terminate his contract for cause.<\/p>\n

\"Tucker<\/p>\n

MSU Vice President Allen Haller said the decision has the support of the administration and board … adding Tucker has been hit with a written notification of the plans to kick him to the curb.<\/p>\n

Haller noted in the statement that Tucker now has seven days to plead his case and try to keep his job.<\/p>\n

“This action does not conclude the ongoing Office for Civil Rights case; that rigorous process will continue,” Haller said.<\/p>\n

\"mel<\/p>\n

Tucker — who signed a $95 million deal in 2021 — has adamantly denied any wrongdoing … admitting he had an intimate relationship with Tracy, but claimed she initiated the private convo with comments of her own.<\/p>\n

He also said the allegations were simply an attempt to “revive her career” … but it’s clear the school felt otherwise.<\/p>\n

Harlon Barnett has taken over for the Spartans … who lost to Washington in a blowout this past weekend.<\/p>\n
