Michigan State seems like one of the worst jobs in the B1G? If I were a coach, I’d honestly like Minnesota more than about any other job, though the average length of tenure of Iowa would hypothetically be enticing (but for having to live in Iowa, and of course Iowa sucking).
Not sure they’re going to have to pay 50%
Well said. There's a level of lunacy in Mel's behavior that is beyond my comprehension (and I'm way old and worked in a culture where sexual harrassment was not traditionally treated as seriously as it is today. Thankfully that has changed for the better.). Note to guys: Never talk about the state of your marriage with other women. They don't care and I imagine it's the lamest come-on line they hear.
Fair enough. I'd agree its not OSU or Michigan. But its a tier above MN. Look at the fundraising they get there...
The fundraising they have doesn’t meet the expectations of their fans or national media.
He hired someone to work with his team. Then had sexual contact with said person.
Unless I missed it, he doesn't technically say he hired her. He didn't hire her. Michigan State hired her "at his behest". What does that mean? Well, I am sure reasonable people could make arguments on both sides.
Yeah you’re right. If there is evidence they created this to get out of the contract it won’t be helpful for them
I read somewhere that the lawyers are invovolved and he has already filed grievance to get paid. THis won't be over for quite some time
I was thinking larger platform lecture circuit and not talking simply to students on college campuses.
Obviously, a lot depends on the provisions of the contract and if Michigan State has a code of conduct that extends beyond employer/employee. But basicallly, contractors are not employees in the sense that hourly or term employees of a university are. That certainly doesn't excuse Mel's misbehavior, but she probably doesn't have the same recourse as an employee would have (unless I am totally mssing something).
Leave the honey to the experts -
Tucker hit the jackpot singing the contract, even if he gets 45 million he is short 25-30 million of what his actual jackpot was
Since 2010 they have 7 10+ win seasons and have finished ranked 7 times. The gophers have done that once. Way easier to win there historically IMO.
I think if you give the gophers dantonio since 2010 they have the same type of success and if you give MSU Brewster they have the same type of success.
Actually 4, and none since 2016. But point taken numbers can be manipulated to mean lots of things.
Notice, though, that women who use sex to get ahead - in business, entertainment, even government, are never accused of anything, never get the "Me Too" treatment, but enjoy their ill-gotten gains.
Yeah, and we'll see how long this sticks. I mean, they have a hearing in October to "decide whether Tucker violated university policy". So if that isn't decided, then they're going with the excuse that he brought public disrespect and ridicule on the university, per the ESPN story?
Called how to get to the top by using your bottom.
He signed the contract that included those generic terms, so if he wanted more specificity about potential fireable offenses, he and his agent should've written them in. They didn't, so this is their painful lesson.
