Overview

  • Michigan State fired football coach Mel Tucker amid a sexual misconduct investigation.
  • Tucker's lawyers sent MSU a letter alleging 'new evidence' about the accuser's motivations.
  • The letter claims the accuser, Brenda Tracy, has a history of manipulation and is seeking financial gain.
  • Tucker's lawyers say the investigation left out key text exchanges showing Tracy later had positive feelings.
  • The allegations stem from an incident after MSU's spring football game earlier this year.
