University of Michigan regents are set to discuss an investigation into the athletic department's culture, with a decision on Athletic Director Warde Manuel's future expected. The probe, initiated after the firing and arrest of football coach Sherrone Moore for misconduct, also examines prior knowledge of Moore's relationship with staffer Paige Shiver. The review follows other controversies, including a sign-stealing scandal and federal charges against a former coordinator, even as the department won national titles under Manuel's tenure since 2016.
on Sunday night that the University of Michigan’s regents are planning on discussing the probe into the athletic department’s culture and as part of it, a decision on Manuel’s future is anticipated.
The investigation was initiated in December following the firing of football coach Sherrone Moore after it was discovered he wasand then later allegedly drove to the home of that staffer to confront her. Athletic Director Warde Manuel of the Michigan Wolverines walks out of the tunnel before a college football game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Northwestern Wildcats at Michigan Stadium on November 23, 2024 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
A dramatic scene unfolded, leading to Moore’s arrest and an eventual plea agreement for the former football coach for misdemeanor malicious use of a telecommunications device and misdemeanor trespassing. The incident raised concerns about the culture of the athletic department after it became the latest in several high-profile controversies involving the athletic department under Manuel.
Part of what is expected to be in the law firm’s report is how much Manuel and athletic department officials knew about the relationship between Moore and the staffer, Paige Shiver, before the situation spiraled out of control. Outside of the Moore controversy, Manuel has been in charge of Michigan’s athletic program during the sign-stealing scheme orchestrated by former football staffer Connor Stalions and the federal charges brought against former offensive coordinator Matt Weiss, who is facing charges of felony aggravated theft and unauthorized access to computers.
Michigan has also seen plenty of success under his tenure – Manuel has held the role since 2016 – with the football program winning a national title in January 2024 and the men’s basketball program winning a title this past spring.
