Warde Manuel is stepping down as Michigan's AD at the end of 2026. During his time Michigan won a bunch of titles and had a bunch of scandals off the field.
Would you take the same results for your school?
There’s only one school in the history of not only America, but in the world, that has won a National Championship in both football and basketball since the beginning of the CFP… and that’s Michigan #GoBlue
Erin Brockovich on data centers: “You’re pushing people too far at this point. You’re taking their water. Their air is jeopardized. Their land is jeopardized. Their sanctuary is jeopardized. Their wildlife is jeopardized. The trees, the rivers, the creeks, the birds, all of it”
Michigan AD Warde Manuel statement:
"I am very proud of all the successes and accomplishments of our athletic department over the past 11 years. We have tremendous coaches and professionals who support our outstanding student athletes every day.
I am happy President Grasso asked me to stay on to work with him to implement the recommendations for continuous improvement. I promise everyone I will have more to say about my decision at the appropriate time."
Michigan's response, once again, makes no sense.
If AD Warde Manuel is NOT a central part of the problem President Grasso cited from the $12M report, why push him out? If he IS a central part of the problem, why keep him as an advisor to enact the needed reforms?
