Mel Tucker's last winter as Michigan State University’s head football coach was a busy one.

He flew around the country via private jet at least 17 times, documents show.

He was in a state of such mental distress that he could not speak to the outside attorney investigating him for sexual harassment, emails show.

Tucker 's actions around the time of those emails part of a more than 1,000 -page case file that MSU has kept out of the public eye.

MSU fired Tucker anyway on Sept. 26 , canceling the roughly $80 million left on his record-setting contract.

A health condition also prevented Tucker from participating in the hearing for the sexual harassment case on Oct. 5 , Belveal wrote in a Sept. 20 letter to the school’s Title IX office seeking another delay.

By then, the hearing officer had already issued her decision, concluding that Tucker sexually harassed and exploited Tracy .
