Michigan Knew of Sherrone Moore Relationship by 2024 as Paige Shiver Details 2022 Pregnancy

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jul 14

Summary

  • Aug. 29, 2024 notes cited by the Wall Street Journal show athletic director Warde Manuel warned Sherrone Moore that Paige Shiver could not accompany him on trips, indicating Michigan administrators knew of the relationship before Moore coached his first game.
  • The Jenner & Block investigation also found other earlier allegations about the multiyear relationship, which ended in 2025 shortly before Michigan fired Moore for cause in December.
  • Paige Shiver said after Moore's April sentencing that other Michigan coaches knew about the relationship, which she said began in January 2022 when Moore was still an assistant under Jim Harbaugh.
  • Shiver also said she became pregnant months later and had an abortion after medical advice tied to her Pompe disease diagnosis; investigators reported she later sought hospital care for postpartum depression.
  • The disclosures add pressure on Michigan's athletic department and on Manuel, whose handling of multiple school scandals is under scrutiny even as he says he plans to remain athletic director.
