## Resource

Michigan’s athletic director Warde Manuel is stepping down at the end of 2026, amid a turbulent tenure marked by both triumphs and turmoil. His leadership saw a historic national football championship under Jim Harbaugh, but also faced intense scrutiny—including a $12 million investigation that found systemic issues, even if misconduct wasn’t widespread. Controversies like the Harbaugh saga and the Connor Stallions probe have overshadowed wins, prompting calls for change. Meanwhile, Michigan made a bold move by landing Dusty May for men’s basketball, securing a long-awaited national title and signaling a push for renewal. With a new university president incoming, this leadership transition marks a deliberate reset for Michigan athletics, aiming to rebuild while honoring past successes.
