So what did MSU investigate the last nine months that they don't know the full story? And suspended him without pay?
That's the part that gives me pause. Surely they have more info to feel confident to do that

It depends on his level of grandiosity. Some people’s know no bounds. You can’t assume people act logically in these situations.

I'm no Tucker fan but I'd love to see him come out of this on top.


I'm pretty sure that is what got him into trouble.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just cannot fathom a situation where he risks $80M to try and jerk off on a phone call with her without her knowing it. It seems like people don't get to where he is in life by being one of the 10 dumbest human beings on planet earth.

When someone rich and powerful does something that costs them everything, it almost always comes down to drugs and pussy. This involves neither.

Hugh Freeze was at the height of his powers at Ole Miss and was calling hookers on his company issued cell phone.

Don’t tell me Tucker simply wouldn’t do this because of what’s at stake. That’s nonsense.

He doesn’t deny it, in fact, he says it was consensual

You don’t think he was hoping it would turn into more. I am not saying he’s wrong. I am just saying people do dumb shite all the time.

She didn't hang up and was on the phone for over 30 minutes iirc.

Sounds consensual to me.

I believe him. That's my entire point. This being consensual phone sex makes infinitely more sense than the alternative.

And it may well be.

But everyone saying there’s no chance he would do that or risk that… he absolutely did jt

Of course it was consensual. They spoke on the phone 20+ times for hours. The phone sex call was 36 minutes long and occurred after midnight. The only person who should have an issue with any of this is Tucker’s wife.

I don’t know Mel Tucker but I’m not risking my career for Brenda.
To each his on. If he has a history of doing this then he was bound to get caught eventually.

No one is saying it didn't happen. I'm calling bullshite on her harassment claims because I believe it was a consensual event and she was a willing participant.

I’d imagine he has a morality clause in his contract, regarding bringing bad press to the university.

I also wonder what university policies are regarding relationships with a contractor, which she was.

He should not be in any legal trouble and I don’t think this woman has a legit claim against him

But he most likely violated university policy. I also wonder what his contract says about bad mouthing the school, which he did today by calling the hearing a sham,

Well the only reason it became public was because the university leaked it in order to get out from under his contract.

Tucker is fighting back because he's going to make them pay for him to go away. Too expensive to roll over.

MSU didn’t leak it, Tracy went to the USA Today

But MSU is absolutely going to try to use it to get out of that contract. I’d do the same thing. Even if they settle on half of the buyout, it’s a big win for them.

This 100%. I would have to disclose this at work and my guess is most of us would too.

What if he and his wife have an open relationship? Is it really anybody’s business? With all these sexualities and relationship types these days, it doesn’t seem right to legislate morality.

No one is saying it didn't happen. Tucker himself said it happened.

What people are saying is he didn't just start rubbing one out and telling this broad about it out of the blue. They'd already had relations.
