    This guy seems like a real sleaze ball and I have no sympathy for him if he did what he is accused of. On the other hand it was a phone call, so why didn’t she just hang up. This happened almost 2 years ago. Why is it coming out now?

    “In the moment, she said, it didn’t occur to her to hang up”

    Maybe she was mesmerized.. :emoji_astonished:

    More detail:

    Michigan State football coach: Rape survivor charges sexual harassment

    Not good for Mel Tucker, imho.

    “The university tapped Rebecca Leitman Veidlinger, an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Title IX attorney, to conduct the investigation.

    A former Indiana sex crimes prosecutor who now heads a private practice, she also previously worked in the Title IX offices at Michigan State and the University of Michigan.”

    I think the AD asked him to manage fan expectations and he took it literally.

    The investigation into this is just for show. The moment she went public with her allegations, true or not, he was going to get fired.

    I would think MSU has known about this for awhile and orchestrated this entire sequence.

    The investigation into the complaint started way back in January and went on for several months without the public knowing, so if its just for show they spent a long time not showing anyone.

    You can take the bulldog out of UGA but you can't take the UGA out of the (former) bulldog.

    If they do fire him, they can always hire Bobby Petrino. :eek:

    CBN will probably not take us to 11-2 in his second season like this clown did at MSU, but I doubt he would ever be accused of something like this. I’m glad the Gator coach is a decent human being.

    Indeed, Phat, I bet it's an ugly story and no telling whom is of the worst character.

    I just find it disturbing that a man whom just reached the pinnacle of his career would even have anything to do with this woman outside strictly professional bounds. Wow

    In common sense parlay, playing with a lit stick of rolling dynamite!
