Mike hit it on the head. Whether it was consensual or not by admitting to having an affair with a vendor Tuck cooked his own goose due to the morality clause in his contract.

@@Jazz-life true, however even if it was a consensual physical relationship he did admit to having a physical relationship with a vendor which is a violation of his morality clause.

Overall good segment, and I wish more MSU fans felt the way Rico and Valenti do. But I am lost at the part where Valenti says it is wrongful termination if you suspend him once you know about the Title IX investigation. That doesn't pass the sniff test to me. If a Title IX officer knows a complaint has been filed, it seems entirely reasonable to me that the employee could be suspended (with or without pay, I don't care). That shouldn't count for wrongful termination because you aren't terminating anyone, just letting the case play out. I think MSU failed here and he SHOULD have been suspended back in March.
