Warde Manuel's future is officially in doubt
Manuel's future is officially in doubt on Sunday evening, according to Yahoo! Sports' college football insider.
"The future of Michigan AD Warde Manuel is in doubt in the wake of a report of an internal investigation around the Sherrone Moore saga, sources tell Yahoo! Sports. A Michigan Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, where officials are expected to further respond to the report," he reported.
"Manuel signed a five-year extension in 2024 through June 2030 at more than $2 million a year. A buyout provision in his contract requires a severance of 36 months of pay unless the school and Manuel reach a settlement agreement. An announcement could come as soon as this week."
