This is he said / she said but Tucker didn't exactly leave Colorado under the most honorable circumstances. It wouldn't surprise me if he was not the most honorable one here.

He was a "Buff for life" - until he wasn't.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Michigan State got boatraced by Washington yesterday in front of a home crowd. It was 35-0 at the half.

This is all very very weird, but what I'm trying to figure out is how one "masturbates without consent."

I didn't quite follow that one either.

I read an article earlier today that says that Michigan State has informed Tucker of their intention to fire him with cause. An internal investigation revealed that the allegations are likely or definitely true.

From what I read, Tucker invited the woman to address his team about sexual harassment and sexual assault, then he tried to hit on her. It seems ironic that he brought in a speaker to encourage players to refrain from the very behavior that he engaged in afterward.

It sounds like he's got at least a slightly legitimate defense if you read this article. This may end up in court.

There's more to this story. Apparently there were 27 phone calls between the two of them averaging over 30 minutes per call. Seems like they may have had a personal relationship, because no one talks on the phone anymore for that long. And if someone is having phone sex you just hang up on the creep(30 minutes is a long time). He is disgusting for being a married man with children having an affair. Probably not his first time. The school is happy because they found a way out of $80 M left on his contract by assuming he is guilty before he is even tried. All three are wrong in my opinion. I feel sad for the football team and staff.

I could not agree more, and will add his family. Michigan State is a cesspool. This is the same school that had 7 players charged with assault and battery for jumping 2 Michigan players in the tunnel after a loss. I'm assuming this is why she was brought in in the first place:

There were quite a few rumors that MSU was thinking about going back to Dantonio. Which serves to further confirm just how little they get it.
