Rise to the Victors: Inside Michigan Leadership

On this edition of Rise to the Victors, we’re joined by Sam Dodge, editor for MLive and The Ann Arbor News, for a deeper conversation about the off-field issues, leadership changes, and uncertainty surrounding Michigan Athletics.

We’ll discuss the university’s presidential transition, the future of athletic department leadership, ongoing questions surrounding investigations, the role of the Board of Regents, and the latest reporting and rumors surrounding the university.

How did Michigan get to this point? Where do things actually stand today? What’s been confirmed, what’s still speculation, and what could happen next?

Most importantly, we’ll look at how decisions made outside the football program could shape Michigan Athletics’ future, from institutional oversight and leadership to the direction of the athletic department in a rapidly changing college sports landscape.

There’s plenty happening in Ann Arbor beyond the scoreboard, and we’re digging into the bigger picture.
