Warde Manuel to BLAME for Michigan MESS! | Big Ten Analysis
from Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast · host Locked On Podcast Network
The University of Michigan has won national championships, but off the field, the athletic department is facing a massive crisis. With basketball coach Dusty May abruptly leaving for the NBA just months after a national title, and a multi-million dollar independent investigation exposing deeper issues within the culture of the Michigan athletic department, all eyes are on Athletic Director Warde Manuel. Is Warde Manuel the scapegoat for a broken system, or is he the root cause of why elite coaches refuse to stay in Ann Arbor? We break down the contract failures, the ongoing scandals, and what the Jenner & Block cultural probe means for the future of Michigan athletics.
