Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel made his way to The Michigan Insider studio Thursday morning for another exclusive 1-on-1 conversation with Sam Webb. In this latest exchange he reacts to the House vs. NCAA settlement, which will distribute $20.5 million in revenue to student-athletes, and its impact on the athletic department's budget. He also addressed the challenges of corralling the current NIL chaos with rampant litigation and differing legislation from state to state. He also answers questions about how much of a voice student athletes have now and should have in the future in determining how NIL in governed. From there, attention turns to Michigan's recent meeting the the NCAA Committee on Infractions, on which he offers his first brief remarks. The conversation shifts then to his department's exploration of new revenue streams as expenses continue to rise. The episode concludes with Manuel weighing with his opinion on the playoff expansion debate that has been brewing of late between the Big 10 and the SEC.
