He should be. There’s been a lot of smoke in the last 24 hrs that this has been known about Moore since earlier in the fall. It seems like maybe they tried to keep it under wraps until the season was over and signing day past.

Michigan would never do such a thing.

Nothing yet but if they leak more information then he's in trouble. The only reason he isn't gone is they need to hire a new coach...but Underwood is already gone and that's the head of the snake being chopped off, who is next?

Has Underwood actually indicated he is entering the portal?

They're using Manuel as a scapegoat to create a firewall between the Athletic Department Sr. Management and the President, so they can say that the President had no knowledge about this internal investigation of Moore for the last several weeks (if not months) and the withholding of information from recruits who just signed with scUM Football (unethical and a clear act of "Bad Faith"). Sure does appear scUM appears to be getting their ducks in a row before they release a full statement on the matter (i.e., who knew what and when) that stops the bleeding at the AD and attempts to protect the President, Board and University's reputation itself. Seems a dollar short and a day late if you ask me as the President and University already destroyed the University's reputation and integrity when they defended Harbaugh and his staff in the cheating scandal after they factually knew scUM had blatantly and willfully cheated (the NCAA provided them the documented evidence and information of cheating). This University is a complete embarrassment to sportsmanship, collegial behavior and the Conference at this point.... but the Conference has made no statement on this matter... unreal.

Their football program has been nothing but scandals, show cause penalties and coaching suspensions for several years now. He deserves to be fired. UM clearly does not have a culture of compliance at the moment.

Michigan should get the death penalty for their football program. One scandal after another. It all started with Harbaugh. The NFL should kick him out of their league based on how he has blasphemed college football. Michigan should not be allowed to play college football for at least a decade.

I’m hearing the AD has been canned, but not seeing confirmation
Warde Manuel has not been fired, but there is growing pressure to can him.

It has been reported that agents have been "aware for weeks" that Michigan was going to fire Moore for cause. For me, this implies that Manuel was aware of Moore's behavior but did not pull the trigger because he was weighing it against his success on the field. IF this is true, save a toothless NCAA, Michigan should be severely punished. I hold little hope that Michigan will be held accountable, being the cash cow that it is, but, if true, turning a blind eye to assault is disgusting.

They turned a blind eye on assault before with their kicker Gibbons. Let’s not forget either Taylor Lewan threatening her.

Agreed. And I believe it's also true scum didn't fire Moore until after signing day to hold onto their recruiting class which shows you where their priorities are.

Bryce Underwood hasn't entered the portal. Or at least has not publicly said he intends to. At some point someone here claimed he did, but he has not at this point. Just clarifying.

But Portnoy said Michigan stepped up right away unlike OSU and PSU and handled the situation in true Michigan Man manor - what a douche and liar - just lime when they cheated they denied over and over and destroyed evidence.
