Report: Warde Manuel To Be Michigan’s Next AD

Update: March 14th is officially Warde Manue’s first day as Michigan’s AD.

While nothing official has yet been announced, it is looking more and more likely that UConn athletic director Warde Manuel, a former Michigan football player and Associate Athletic Director for the Wolverines, will be the school’s next AD.

The UConnBlog is reporting that Warde Manuel will be UM's next AD. My sources aren't 100%, but indicate very likely. https://t.co/UnYqKPvmMy
