Warde Manuel discusses uncertainty over his future at Michigan

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel addressed speculation about his job security during an interview on July 14, citing past instances where he felt he had been 'fired by social media.' Conversations about a potential buyout have taken place amid investigations into departmental culture and scandals, including the dismissal of football coach Sherrone Moore. Michigan has incurred approximately $12 million in costs related to these investigations, with some documents kept confidential. Manuel, who has four years left on his contract, stated he remains proud of his achievements, including the university's recent NCAA titles and academic successes. A board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, although the agenda does not mention Manuel or the investigations.
