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.”
