I-80 Football Show: How does Mel Tucker still have a job?

Welcome to a new episode of Fans First Football Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan. In this episode, Dante and Jordan break down the Mel Tucker situation at Michigan State. Once again an administration takes the low road hoping to hide a scandal under the rug. Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker has been accused of sexual harassment and has admitted to committing a sexual act over the phone with a business partner. Instead of suspending or firing Tucker, Michigan State scheduled his trial for the bye week and allowed him to continue coaching football games. As has become custom, the administration placed him on unpaid suspension only after the news was released by a media outlet.  Week two was a weird week for the Big Ten as Wisconsin and Nebraska lost to PAC-12 teams they were expected to beat. Illinois was thoroughly outplayed by Kansas while Oregon and Maryland found ways to avoid upsets late after trailing to Texas Tech and Charlotte respectively. Iowa avenged last season's loss to Iowa State but the offense is still struggling, at least the defense is still putting up points. Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan continue to take care of business albeit in different ways and varying levels of impressiveness.  In their weekly pitstops, Jordan sends his thoughts to JK Dobbins who suffered another season-ending injury. The USA Men’s National Basketball team failed to medal in the FIBA World Cup causing LeBron and some other older superstars to consider returning for the 2024 Olympics. Should LeBron have to save the program again? What is going on with US Men’s Basketball?  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up with MyBookie using our link to receive your welcome bonus: https://mybookie.website/Grant23 Follow the show on YouTube: @JordanW330  Follow the podcast on Instagram: @I80FootballShow  Connect with us on Twitter: Jordan: @JordanW330 and Dante: @DanteM10216 Learn more about your ad choices.
