Runner-up to Pruitt, but the story doesn't make sense. There's gotta be more to it.

Technically he is just suspended without pay for the moment
If you listen to the AD  it is clear they had intended to let him coach till the hearing.
The leaks to the press screwed up that timeline

It seems to me that they are not being transparent at all

Yep..Suspended..

Why didn't the women just hang up the phone? And why were there so many phone calls?

I think he was set up but who knows for sure
The woman has a bit of history so frankly I don?t believe a word what she says

It had been reported he was fired. AJ Johnson got railroaded as we know, but for the love of God if you are going to jack off during "phone sex" pick someone other than an anti-rape activist  :wtf: I don't see any way he survives this. Crazy story.

She's bat crap crazy and there's much more to the story. But he's dumb as dumb can get. With all the troubles Michigan State has had I see no way he gets out of this.

The story is still bizarre, but makes more sense. It's sad for all parties, but he'll definitely get paid.

The twist is folks up the chain who ousted him may be without employment.

Well you wouldn't think phone sex could be coerced. I just saw the "news" on X yesterday. I'm pretty sure several national media ran with the fired story. Embarrassing at a minimum. Coach should have plenty of money to fight this and restore his reputation, or even "make it go away". Rick Pitino finally called the FBI & had one of his extramarital floozies charged with extortion. Glad I don't have a lot of money. I'd have probably been in all kinds of shizzle!  :biggrin:

Tucker alleges he and his wife have been "estranged" many years, which is code for no lovin' at their home :biggrin:

Stupid and embarrassing decision by him, but does seem kind of contrived on her part.

At the end of the day, a guy in his position should know better.
