Michigan State is expected to fire football coach Mel Tucker for cause Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The formal firing loomed as the final step in the university separating from Tucker, who has nearly $79 million remaining on his contract. By firing him for cause, Michigan State is attempting to not pay Tucker any of the remaining money.
Tucker's responses included the formal response from his attorneys within the seven-day window that MSU had noted in the Sept. 18 letter that it was contractually required to give him. The formal response is a 25-page document that argues point-by-point, at times, with MSU. "The conversations Tucker had with Ms. Tracy regarding her appearance, flirtation, and phone sex, occurred exclusively in their private lives, unrelated to either Tucker's work or her work, and were entirely consensual," said the letter from Tucker's lawyers on Monday.
