EAST LANSING, Mich. – Brenda Tracy, the sexual-assault advocate who said former Michigan State Spartans football head coach Mel Tucker harassed her, has now filed a new lawsuit naming major Michigan State University donor and Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia.
According to the complaint, Tracy accuses Ishbia of trying to interfere with the university’s investigation into Tucker, even giving Tucker inside information to protect his own interests.
The suit also names Ishbia’s company, United Wholesale Mortgage, as a defendant.
That filing arrived the same day that a federal judge dismissed Tracy’s separate lawsuit against Michigan State.
