Warde Manuel OUT As Michigan's AD At End Of 2026! | UNPAVED

On this Monday edition of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury, Adam G. Sager, and Coach JB open with World Cup Final and Open Championship recaps, including a memorably profane anti-soccer rant from JB. The crew then dives into the day's biggest story: Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel stepping down at the end of 2026 following an internal investigation, and what the timing and terms of his exit really signal. From there, they cover Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz's comments on why the Big Ten has dominated the College Football Playoff, an NFL gambling scandal involving a Cardinals scouting executive accused of leaking draft information, and close with the ongoing Rory McIlroy vs. Bryson DeChambeau tension following DeChambeau's two-stroke penalty at the Open.
