Michigan Pays $7M to Outgoing AD | Detroit News
Description
Michigan just handed outgoing AD Warde Manuel a $7.1 million exit package — including a $108K retirement boost and perks like tickets and golf access — even though he hasn’t hit the 20-year service mark. The deal, revealed via FOIA, includes a strict 2-year non-compete against Big Ten schools and pays his legal team $82K — all while the school insists it’s not admitting fault. This follows his surprise departure after a months-long investigation into athletic department issues that led to the firing of head coach Sherrone Moore — and the probe’s results remain sealed for now, citing privacy and legal protections.
