Report: Michigan's Warde Manuel to receive $7 million payout after stepping down as athletic director​

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel will receive a significant financial package after stepping down from his position later this year. According to Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich, Manuel’s separation agreement includes a one-time payment of $7 million, along with retirement benefits and reimbursement for legal fees.

Just sayin': Well, $7M + retirement benefits + reimbursement of legal fees = the negotiated rate to keep a fired AD from "blowing the whistle" on scUM..... :lol:

Angelique Chengelis of The Detroit News reported Saturday that Manuel will receive a buyout worth $7,143,346, minus tax withholding, within 21 days of the end of his tenure as athletic director. He will also receive a retirement contribution of $108,000 and all retiree benefits, including health plan coverage, as Michigan waived its typical service requirement of 20 years. Additionally, Michigan will pay Manuel’s $82,000 in attorney fees and will give him the typical benefits provided to a former athletic director, including tickets and golf privileges.

Just in case any other Big Ten schools were lining up to hire him, Manuel’s settlement with Michigan also includes a non-compete clause that prevents him from working as an athletic director or senior athletic adviser for any Big Ten school in the next two years.

Manuel will also remain with Michigan as a special advisor to the president, as Michigan president Domenico Grasso has asked Manuel to help the university implement reforms in the athletic department – the athletic department he has led since 2016 – that include strengthening its compliance office, enhancing human resources operations, establishing consistent investigative policies and procedures, improving processes for reporting and escalating concerns, strengthening athletics leadership and organizational structure, and expanding student-athlete health and wellness support

Just sayin': Needless to say the scUM Athletic Department has a lot of skeletons in it's closet and Manuel knows exactly where to find them.

Alabama Crimson Tide (official thread of Football, Fake Championships and Banjo)

Remember the glory days when owning several car dealerships gave you enough cash to put together a championship roster? Alas, the college football world has blown past Bama’s ability to pay.

It’s humorous that Saban is at the forefront of the reform movement. “These changes in college football completely undermine the way I used to successfully cheat! It has to stop!”
They were also effective using T-Town Menswear. How much could they pay a guy like Julio Jones now?

Re: Manuel signed a five-year extension in 2024 through June 2030 at more than $2 million a year. A buyout provision in his contract requires a severance of 36 months of pay unless the school and Manuel reach a settlement agreement.

Just sayin': Why would Manuel settle for anything less than $6M?

:lol:
Because their lawyers threaten to fire him for cause in which case he gets nothing and has to pay to litigate whatever he can get out of them.

$0 + low six figure legal bills out of pocket while unemployed = <$6MM settlement

Watching the DFBIA try to claim that "well this doesn't mean for sure that anyone could have known that an affair was going on" is some comical shit

Im sure they thought they were just having a nice friendly Bible study or something.

People can rationalize anything if it keeps them from dealing with reality not matching the idealized self image they have of themselves (via their association with the out of control shit show institution).

Penn State people rationalized institutional indifference of serial child rape for fucks sake.

This is child's play mental gymnastics.

2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Oregon Verbal)

If it were me, I'd kick the tires on Brayron running the ball now that DDG is out. We know he can play linebacker but I think he can be a Skattebo type RB for the Buckeyes we already have the lightening backs why not add some thunder? Worst case that doesnt work the best and he moves to LB. He can play. Get him here and sort it then his brother follows him on the DL.

Lebron James (Philadelphia 76ers)

LeBron wrecks bigs wherever he goes. He ruined in order:

Bosh
Love
AD
…..and soon to be Embiid.

For whatever reason, LeBrons style has always minimized “bigs” and turned all world players into above average role players.
probably because he's not anything close to the GOAT he (and ESPN) have proclaimed him to be.

Truly great players make everyone around them better, then in crunch time they take over and dominate. I don't watch NBA anymore but when he was young, I never saw that from LeBron. I actually watched him quit against the Celtics in a playoff round early on (forget the year 09-10 maybe). That was all I ever needed to see.

Russel, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe...they'd die before they'd quit.

They go as Embiid goes and he hasn’t shown any ability to stay healthy.

Steve Sarkisian is already trying to build in an excuse for another Ohio State loss

The Texas coach continues to whine about the fact that he can't coach his team to the College Football Playoff.

In each of the last two seasons, the Ohio State Buckeyes have taken Texas behind the woodshed. First, it was in the Cotton Bowl in 2024 to make the national championship. Last season, they opened up the season with a victory over the Longhorns in the Shoe to start off a 12-0 campaign.

Texas failed to make the College Football Playoff last year after falling to the Buckeyes. Despite the fact that they lost two other games, Steve Sarkisian seems to be blaming the reason they missed the CFP on the fact that they even had to play Ohio State in the first place.

Steve Sarkisian is getting an excuse ready for another Ohio State loss

While speaking at Media Day, Sark claims that the reason they missed the CFP is because of that Week 1 loss to Ohio State.

"If we beat Ohio State (last year), we're surely in a much better place for the playoffs. If I don't play Ohio State and play Jones Jr. High, we're 10-2 & our losses are to Georgia and Florida, and we're a playoff team."

Ignore the fact that the Longhorns lost to 4-8 Florida. Go ahead and blame the fact that you couldn't beat one of the worst teams in the SEC instead of one of the best teams in the country. Sark is whining that he can't play a poor schedule like the rest of the SEC does.

It sounds like Sark is getting ready to say this exact same thing nine months from now after Ohio State beats the Longhorns in Austin in Week 2. It really seems like he's already thinking about excuses for losing that game instead of trying to actually coach his team well enough to win.

Of course, it has to be the schedule's fault. It can't possibly be that Sark can't actually win big games. It certainly can't be his fault. If Ryan Day pulverizes him again at the beginning of August, it won't be Sark's fault! It's the athletic directors who scheduled this game in the first place.
