Report: Michigan State's Mel Tucker Subject of Sexual Harassment Investigation

Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker is under university investigation for alleged sexual harassment, according to ESPN's Dan Murphy.

The investigation into Tucker began "months ago and remains open," Murphy added. Details about the allegations have not been made public.

ESPN submitted a public records request to Michigan State on July 30 "seeking documents related to any complaints alleging that Tucker violated the university's relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy," but the request was denied, per Murphy.
