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:

Warde Manuel Will Be Paid $7 Million Buyout After Stepping Down As Michigan’s Athletic Director

Michigan will reportedly pay Warde Manuel a buyout of more than $7 million – equivalent to three more years of salary – when he steps down as the Wolverines’ athletic director in 2027.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

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 he scUM Athletic Department has a lot of skeletons in it's closet and Manuel knows exactly where to find them.

Lebron James (Philadelphia 76ers)

Jaxbuck said:
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.

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?

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.

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.

images%2FReutersImages%2Fmmsport%2F151%2F01kycw2p05s23act8gva.jpg


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.

An Ode To Charlie Partridge: Notre Dame football just made history while also defying preconceived expectations​

Notre Dame football is recruiting the defensive line at a historic level. A lot of credit goes to new DL coach Charlie Partridge.

USATSI_28690973-3-1280x854.jpg


Notre Dame football defensive line recruiting for the 2027 class is officially complete.

With the commitment of 2027 Chicago (Ill.) Brother Rice four-star defensive tackle Brayden Parks on Thursday, the Fighting Irish wrapped up what might be the program’s best defensive line haul in over three decades. The class is the first assembled under new defensive line coach Charlie Partridge, and it represents a massive statement about where head coach Marcus Freeman’s program is headed.

For a long time, Notre Dame fans were programmed to believe the Irish couldn’t realistically compete for five-star defensive linemen. This class shatters that notion entirely.

The group features five-star edge rusher Abraham Sesay, elite five-star defensive tackle David Folorunsho, Jackson Vaughn (a potential five-star in the 2028 class before reclassifying), top-100 defensive end Aidan O’Neal, top-150 defensive tackle Parks, and four-star reclassified defensive lineman Segun Alexander.

That is a staggering collection of talent along the defensive front.

Just sayin': Notre Dame may have hit a "home run" in hiring Charlie partridge as DL coach this year.

Does Notre Dame have the best defensive line class of the 2027 cycle?​

Tour de France 2026

AKAK
I will say a bucket list item of mine is to ride alpe d'huez

It's such a part of cycling they're doing it again tomorrow

Its not a tremendously difficult ride, its something like the 40th hardest alpine cycling ascent. I've done it on zwift and as a fat old dude I can run it about 9 mph. Ventoux is way harder.

The idea that tadej beat a pantani time here should give anyone pause. You can decide what that pause is.

My perspective here is of a 53 year old fat guy who rides bikes. Bit a cycling fan. And I don't ascribe to the idea that they can do it and I can't only because of my fat old capitalist ass. They can do it for a lot of reasons I simply can't

Let them ride

At that point in his career I’d say the brutal truth is the moment was too big for him.

Players go through it, coaches do too. We all do in our own professions if we’re honest with ourselves.

I used to eviscerate Day for learning on the job but he really was. Not his fault but he was.
