What on earth? This has to be a joke. Nobody is that stupid.

Should be noted the Author is a UO grad.

In subsequent correspondence, he and his attorney suggested Tracy’s motive: She held a vendetta against Spartans athletics because of its history of sexual misconduct scandals and falsely accused him for financial gain.

“To say that I have learned from this situation is an understatement,” Tucker wrote in a letter to the investigator on March 22. “I will never again allow myself to be duped by kindness.”

Both his description of her motive as well as "being duped by kindness" are the kind of bellicose, reactionary stuff that BS artists use.

Tucker told Veidlinger he had canceled Tracy’s July 25 in-person training because his new mental conditioning coach, Ben Newman, needed to implement a new program. But Veidlinger would obtain records from the school showing Newman had been meeting weekly with the team since early June and did not hold any meetings between July 15 and 28.

During the interview, Tucker also made an explosive new allegation: He said his associate had told him that renowned ESPN investigative reporter Paula Lavigne was investigating the veracity of the gang-rape story at the heart of Tracy’s public persona. The information, Tucker said, made him question how Tracy “goes about her business.”

Veidlinger did not address this allegation in her report, but Lavigne denied the allegation.

“Neither (Tracy's) organization nor Tracy is or has been the target of any investigative reporting,” Lavigne said in a statement to USA TODAY. “I’m perplexed that Mel Tucker would respond to a complaint of sexual harassment by involving me or ESPN.”

Not good when the AD calls for a press conference on a Sunday.

And that folks, is how you get out of a $90 million contract.

The rumors of him being fired are a bit premature as it's looking like he's just suspended with pay.

And that folks, is how you get out of a $90 million contract.

Or, it’s how you throw away $90million because you think you’re untouchable?
