Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel's future is "in doubt," according to multiple reports, as the findings from a $12 million investigation into his department are set to be presented.
The Free Press had previously learned from multiple people that higher-ups at Michigan have been briefed on the findings from the investigation run by the law firm of Jenner & Block. More recent reports indicate Manuel's future is in jeopardy, with the decision potentially related to the findings from the investigation.

The investigation began after Sherrone Moore, U-M football coach for two seasons, was fired Dec. 10 for a romantic relationship with ****** istant Paige Shiver, as well as for lying about the relationship when asked about it. A major focus of Jenner & Block's investigation was Manuel, a U-M alumnus hired as AD in 2016, as well as the culture within the department after numerous unrelated scandals during his tenure.
A U-M Board of Regents meeting is set for Thursday, July 16, in Traverse City, but no agenda has been announced.
