Michigan State coach Mel Tucker walks the sideline during a game against Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, in East Lansing, Mich.
The Associated Press left messages seeking comment Sunday with Tucker, Tracy, Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller and Tucker’s attorney, Jennifer Belveal. over her advocacy work, but that relationship took a turn in April 2022 when Tucker masturbated during a phone call with her, according to USA Today.
Tucker acknowledged to investigators last spring that he masturbated during the phone call with Tracy, but he said they had consensual “phone sex.”
