The announcement came down on Sunday that Tucker was being suspended without pay.
Rumors have already surfaced that he is expected to be terminated after the investigation is complete.
Athletic Director Harlon Barnett stated, “I was aware of the report in late December.
“The external investigator concluded their review and submitted their investigative report on July 25 with the recommendation for a formal hearing, which will occur the week of Oct. 5.”
Tucker has been accused of masturbating on the phone while talking to sexual assault prevention advocate Brenda Tracy.
Tracy has been working with the players on the team regarding sexual assault prevention.
She had given several presentations, invited to the school by Tucker.
With Tucker now on suspension, Co-defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett has been named as the interim head coach.
Mark Dantonio has also been brought back to serve as an adviser.
