In two words, here's Mike Valenti's reaction to the news that Mel Tucker is accused of sexually harassing a rape survivor and sexual assault prevention activist who had been paid by Michigan State to speak to Tucker's team: "F him."
"PSA: Mel Tucker might be the dumbest human being to ever walk the earth. He’s a character out of 'Idiocracy.' To say there was a lack a judgement would say there was a degree of judgment at all. The pure idiocy of Mel Tucker. ... There is no defense. His defense of consensual doesn’t even play because he violated the morality clause in his contract."
Suspended without pay by Michigan State pending a formal hearing next month, Tucker may well have coached his final game for the Spartans -- just two years after signing a 10-year, $95 million contract. Valenti says the 51-year-old is a "functioning idiot" and "a moron" for getting romantically involved "with a vendor of the University, a person you pay to talk to your football team about how to be young men and how to treat women."
"Thank you for telling me that you are a POS. Honestly. My anger has nothing to do with Michigan State University, it has everything to do with this man. This guy F’d over every donor, every fan, every player, every player’s family, the administration. They gave him everything they never gave Mark Dantonio: the facility, the assistant pool, a contract that was unheard of! And his reward, was this."
And at Tucker's hearing next month, Valenti says "they can burn him to the ground."
"Because he screwed over all of us. Everybody. What a piece of garbage. You know what, it’s not nuanced, but to hell with it: I think he’s dumb! Rich people can be dumb! I don’t think he’s smart! A smart man knows he’s a target. He knows he makes money and he has responsibility to the players, to the families, to the donors, Jesus, to your own kids!
"He’s dumb! OK!? Not nuanced, not polite. And now he’s gone. And for that, I have a right to feel relieved. He revealed himself in daylight. Get out!"
