Michigan football staffer was fired for soliciting 13-year-old

Amid multiple NCAA investigations and scandals — including the FBI looking into Matt Weiss and the NCAA’s investigations into cheating allegations — a new report has come out, which once again has the school in a negative spotlight. Alex Yood, a former Michigan football staffer, was reportedly fired after a video was posted on Instagram that depicts him allegedly attempting to solicit someone who he thought was a 13-year-old girl.

Michigan football staffer was fired for soliciting 13-year-old

Per new reports, former Michigan football staffer Alex Yood was fired after a video surfaced showing Yood with a bottle of liquor, which he allegedly planned to share with someone who he thought was a 13-year-old girl. Of course, that was not the case — soon after the video of Yood allegedly soliciting a minor was released, the Michigan football program fired Yood.

While the video is not a great look, The Michigan Insider reports that he has not been charged in the 15th District Court or the Washtenaw County Trial Court. In the video, Alex Yood claims that he thought he was meeting with an adult.

While Yood is no longer with the Michigan football program, this is yet another headline that shines the Wolverines in a negative light. Of course, on top of this news, the media is also eating Michigan alive for the multiple ongoing NCAA investigations into Jim Harbaugh and his team, as well as the FBI’s emergence and involvement in a case regarding ex-Michigan offensive coordinator Matt Weiss, who was fired earlier this year.

Regardless of this news, Michigan football will face Purdue this weekend at the Big House in their first game since crushing Michigan State, 49-0.
