Suspended Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker has called allegations of sexual harassment “completely false” in a statement released Monday evening by the law firm representing him.
Tucker, whose suspension was announced by athletic director Alan Haller on Sunday in a 5 p.m. news conference with school officials, is the subject of an investigation regarding a sexual harassment complaint made against him by well-known rape survivor and activist, Brenda Tracy.
“The proceedings initiated by Ms. Tracy are devoid of any semblance of fairness for any matter of this importance, and the University’s 'hearing' scheduled for October 5-6 is so flawed that there is no other opportunity for the truth to come out.
