WSJ reveals Michigan knew of Moore-Shiver ties a year before firing
A Wall Street Journal investigation based on Jenner & Block findings shows Michigan athletics director Warde Manuel and other officials were warned about head coach Sherrone Moore’s relationship with Paige Shiver more than a year before Moore was fired, contradicting Michigan’s portrayal of a swift response. The report outlines additional allegations and concerns, including a hotline tip and inappropriate conduct, and raises questions about the department’s oversight and independence, as Manuel faced ongoing scrutiny while the full findings have not been released. Shiver has sued for records, and Moore remained coach until December despite the mounting warnings.
