Michigan hockey coach Mel Pearson‘s contract expired months ago, but he’s remained at the helm in Ann Arbor while decision-makers deliberate on his future. All has been quiet for some time after the WilmerHale law firm conducted its investigation into the program for mishandling COVID protocols and the mistreatment of employees.

Now, insider John U. Bacon has provided an update via his Twitter account.

“Multiple sources have told me the report the University of Michigan commissioned to investigate the hockey program has gotten to numerous media sources,” Bacon wrote. “Expect the decision to retain or release head coach Mel Person will come to a head soon, probably within the week.”

Michigan football continues to get creative with NIL. Valiant Management, founded by former U-M fullback Jared Wangler, is at the forefront of its new deal, with player trading cards now on sale at The M Den, the Wolverines’ official merchandise retailer.

A 10-pack of cards featuring members of the 2022 Michigan football team costs $16.95. Limited edition autographed cards are randomly inserted into some of the packs. It’s is a preorder item at this time and anticipated to ship in late August.

“A great opportunity for the best fan base in the world to show their support for Michigan football players,” Valiant Management wrote in a tweet. “The majority of profits are divided evenly amongst the team.”

The Michigan football team’s trip concluded with stops in the Upper Peninsula, including in Sault Ste. Marie, where they learned about the famous locks.
