Of course the cheating bum doesn't want to leave.
Unfortunately - this is not true. Michigan is for Michigan only, and at all times, while not disclosing anything that would tarnish the Michigan reputation or 'Logo"!
Michigan AD Warde Manuel to step down at end of calendar year
Warde Manuel will step down as Michigan AD at the end of the calendar year, the school announced as part of the conclusion of an investigation into the culture of athletics at the university.

“…the school also acknowledged "failures" by Manuel to "quickly and effectively act on allegations of wrongdoing by Athletic Department employees."”
Even in the hyper-competitive world of Higher Ed, that is some World Class spin-doctoring.
so they found themselves not guilty- shocker
Not a legal scholar...but wouldn't it have a detrimental impact on current lawsuits if they fire him? I think they'll wait and let him go out to pasture in a few months...with incentive.See the link below. From the article:
”The University of Michigan's regents are expected to discuss an investigation into the culture of its athletic department on Thursday, sources told ESPN. As part of the review, a decision on the future of athletic director Warde Manuel is anticipated in the coming days.
A university spokesman told ESPN on Sunday that the school had nothing to report and declined further comment.
Michigan commissioned the investigation in December following the firing of football coach Sherrone Moore for having an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member."
After being fired earlier that month by Manuel, Moore drove to the home of staff member Paige Shiver and confronted her. He was arrested and later agreed to a plea deal for misdemeanor malicious use of a telecommunications device and misdemeanor trespassing.
The incident was the latest controversy for the high-profile athletic department, including numerous NCAA violation cases, an illegal in-person scouting scandal involving staff member Connor Stalions and federal charges against former offensive coordinator Matt Weiss for felony aggravated identity theft and unauthorized access to computers. Weiss has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to stand trial in September.
The long-anticipated report, from the Chicago law firm Jenner & Block, has cost over $11 million and is expected to be comprehensive.”

This is what we’re up against.
Not all trustees are as hapless as the 2011 Ship of Fools.
If only we had a Time Machine to redo the Sandusky self-incriminating cluster f response at PSU. Michigan had their own Sandusky and a myriad of other serious issues up to a natty they did not deserve and there are no real consequences.
not anywhereReally pathetic. No ethics anymore.
It would be nice to think Manuel is an outlier. He ain't.
The business has been run by, and up to its ears in, such personalities for many years now.
I expect that decision was made by the President (Grasso).
That is shameful - but not even out of the norm for the disgusting norms of Higher Education "leadership"
I would have hoped that the Board at U Michigan would have stepped in to prevent that nonsense - but I suppose not. Alas.
Yet another abject failure of leadership (and of common sense, and decency, and duty) for Higher Ed.
Where do I sign up for that harsh punishment?
