Horace Greely Prettyman captaincy (1884-86) erasure will not stand

[The Winged Helmet @TWH_Chris]

Rod Moore becomes the first player in school history to be voted a three-time captain.〽️

2nd paragraph is illuminating. UM’s review indicates that a Harbaugh-run program needed much more active oversight to keep away the Burgergate-Weiss-Stalions-Schemy-Moore “scandals.”

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

Michigan's external culture review found no widespread misconduct across the athletic department, the University announced.

The review found that the football program's prominence and organizational structure created oversight challenges and called for stronger leadership oversight, clearer responsibilities, enhanced reporting relationships, and improving compliances processes.

As I was saying…

[JAT @anison]

It’s been obvious for several years that certain Michigan “media” are useful idiots who just repeat anything they’ve heard

[Nate Lewis @NateLewis77]

It's amazing all the fake info all these "Insiders" and fake " journalist" have been putting out for click bait. And what's more amazing is the people that actually believe it and run with it. Now all of you look like 🤡 trying to deflect and act like you don't remember saying it lol. Sometimes it's actually better to be right than first. If no major outlet is speaking on it don't believe the guy that's never sat at the table for these discussions. #SourcesBroTrustMe

“The answer is simple: We could not verify its accuracy. If anything, we were getting the sense of a pressure campaign, using selective leaks from a not-yet-public report.”

Someone's been eating the lettuce in Ann Arbor, as Michigan clearly has a leaking problem.

My first story with @MichiganOnSI breaks down what we've been hearing about Warde Manuel, the investigation, and what has come out this week.

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

A lot of speculation on whether Michigan suspected the Sherrone Moore-Paige Shiver affair.

Yes, of course it did.

In the fall of 2025, U of M conducted a full HR investigation into the situation, including interviewing both participants, who denied it. There wasn’t enough evidence to prove an inappropriate relationship.

In November, the school commissioned a second investigation using an outside firm (the relationship broke up soon after, Shiver then told what happened and Moore was fired that day).

All of this was reported by ESPN and others last December.

Michigan has certainly not cloaked itself in glory with its many scandals, but not sure what more it could have reasonably done on this particular issue.

[Chuck @CFBChuckk]

Warde Manuel does make some hilarious but true points:

- Was he supposed to read Matt Weiss’ mind after a perfectly clean background check?

- Should he have just immediately fired Sherrone over rumors with no proof?

- Michigan winning despite him is absurd, and he’s not gonna let people say it

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Manuel suggests that “people who don’t want me here” are leaking info to the media that his job is in jeopardy.

"People with zero knowledge of what’s going on are talking about things are happening. I wish we got to the point in society where people put their names to things."

[JAT @anison]

An $11 million Zoom call? lol.

[David Jesse @reporterdavidj]

An FYI regarding the University of Michigan investigation into the athletic department. No physical report was compiled and issued. Regents were briefed orally recently on the findings, which were critical of the AD and others at the university.

[JAT @anison]

The best and most common sense take on this.

[Scott Bell @sbell021]

A few quick thoughts on Warde Manuel. I plan to write more in-depth about it later this week and anticipate I’ll be talking about it on the radio tomorrow, too. 👇

[Tom Mars @TomMarsLaw]

Whenever a corporate or university Board retains a major law firm to conduct an investigation into an embarrassing scandal - even for far less than $11 million - there is a tacit understanding between the board and the law firm that their report will provide a basis to fire or force the retirement of at least a couple of scapegoats AND that current board members will not be the subject of any criticism.

That’s a fact. 🎯

[JAT @anison]

Left college sports bc of 1-and-done players. Perfect fit for the current state of NIL and the portal?

Goofy. 🤪

[Clayton Sayfie @CSayf23]

A candidate I’d look at for Michigan interim athletic director once Warde Manuel is out:

John Beilein.

[JAT @anison]

@JoshHenschke My man.

[JAT @anison]

@cbrennansports Clark isn’t on this poster because she does not allow the WNBA’s licensees to use her image. Please correct the record.

[JAT @anison]

@JoshHenschke My guy! A consummate professional and one of the “good guys” in an industry sorely lacking them. One door closes…

[Tom Mars @TomMarsLaw]

Speaking of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker, people usually get what they deserve, but you need to be patient because sometimes it takes awhile.

Here’s an example of Acker trying to dig up dirt on Warde Manuel.

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

[JAT @anison]

@sbell021 @chengelis Respectful and firm questioning by @chengelis who is always a pro. Clear that Manuel hears/sees the criticism and he answers much of it head-on here. Inconvenient for those predisposed to hating the man.
