Hey, it's Andy. Before we get started, I want to talk about some of the stuff you're going to hear it in the beginning part of the show.

0:06.6

That's the section where I'm talking about Mel Tucker and his situation at Michigan State.

0:11.8

When we recorded the show live on Sunday night, it was a few hours after the Michigan State press conference involving the athletic director and the president.

0:20.8

And at the time, neither one of them said that they had not learned the specifics of this case

0:28.0

until Sunday, basically when USA Today dropped the story.

0:34.0

Now, in a lot of places when you have a title nine situation the specifics are kept from the

a university spokeswoman to various media outlets.

1:30.5

So this could be butt covering.

1:32.9

This could be them trying to make things look better when they looked bad.

1:37.0

Or it could be they legitimately messed this messaging up and the president and the AD didn't know the full extent of what was going on

1:46.5

until Sunday when the USA Today's story came out. All of this stuff can be true.

1:52.0

Does it really change the basics of what's going on that Mel Tucker is probably not going

1:58.3

going to be back as Michigan State's coach? I'll explain why that's probably the case as we get into the body of the show.
