According to the report, from Kenny Jacoby of the Lansing State Journal, Tucker is being accused of harassment by Brenda Tracy, a rape survivor who works with college athletes.

According to Dan Murphy of ESPN, the Tucker investigation has been going on behind the scenes for months. Murphy’s report stated the nature of the investigation is unknown, but that it is active.

Michigan State initially declined to comment, but Murphy shared an official comment from the university in a subsequent tweet.

While this news is not welcomed and is very troubling, it is important to let all the details come out and for the university to properly handle the investigation.
