Sherrone Moore isn’t the only person in Michigan’s athletic department who should be out of a job.
The Moore allegations – an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer – are seedy enough. But the Michigan athletic department has long been a cesspool, and that’s squarely on athletic director Warde Manuel.
There was the basketball coach who smacked an opposing assistant in the face. Not to be confused with that same coach’s altercation with someone on his own staff. There was the toxic and misogynistic atmosphere in the hockey program. There was the gymnastics coach fired after police found him engaged in sexual activity with a student in a car. There was football’s sign-stealing scandal. The recruiting violations uncovered during the sign-stealing scandal.
The failure to monitor. The laundry list of staffers who’ve been arrested or sanctioned by the NCAA.
And these are just the things we know about!
