Summary
Michigan’s AD search is heating up as Warde Manuel steps down, leaving a massive, high-stakes vacancy at a powerhouse program. With a $1 billion budget, elite alumni, and national exposure, the next leader must master NIL, conference shifts, and media rights. Top contenders include Candice Storey Lee (Vanderbilt), who’s rebuilt programs and led NIL innovation; David Benedict (UConn), whose basketball dominance and Big Ten/SEC savvy could translate to Michigan; and Martin Jarmond (UCLA), a young visionary who’s driven championships and conference realignment. Also in the mix: Jeramiah Dickey (Boise State), Desiree Reed-Francois (Arizona), and even former Michigan exec Katie Fraumann — all vying for a role that could reshape college sports.
