    I don't think Dan wants to be that far from the Bahamas. He'll just stick to his new TV gig.

    Besides, I'm sure this is the off season that the NFL job that he has been holding out for comes open.

    I wouldn’t jump to conclusions here. I think it’s much more about the contract and the trust with the administration than what is with what we are hearing about the zoom masturbation event.

    McDonald’s bags are a much more ethical way of getting a coach fired.

    “There is a clause in Tucker's contract that would allow MSU to fire him for cause "if the coach is engaged in any conduct which constitutes moral turpitude" or MSU deems said conduct to have embarrassed the university.”

    This could end up being a very expensive zoom tug session for Tucker, would cost him somewhere around $70mil. Ouch!

    I have ZERO insider knowledge. But this has just seemed weird since it broke. I watched the Clay Travis piece on it and he makes some really good points. It seemed she didnt get offended until he cancelled her appearance. But when you are talking about 80M dollars - you gotta be smarter man. LOL

    And if he had a brain he should have said:

    I am reporting you to HR, you are violating team and organization standards and not only that you are violating my personal code of ethics.

    Given your history, your a mental wreck and I advise counciling.

    Oh yeah - YOUR also F'in FIRED!

    Thank you 833, my point exactly. Even if SHE was the initiator and was setting him up for the payday, he was incredibly stupid - I'm talking about mentally ill stupid, to fall for it.

    My god, even an old, ugly, white man like me knows how to go about getting a slice of cherry pie on the internet with some level of descretion.

    It's just mind boggling to me. I thought I was stupid, I can take comfort knowing I'm far from the stupidist.

    Tucker is not denying he did it. How stupid can you be to put yourself in this situation and then try to say the university is over reacting because of the Nasser incidents?

    Political correctness trumps common sense. It also denies any shot at redemption for human error. This is our country today. As Travis said, “the world we have created is so dishonest”.
