- Manuel, who signed an extension through 2030 with nearly $2.4 million annual compensation, would be entitled to 36 months of severance pay upon firing under current contract terms.
- Personnel challenges include basketball coach Dusty May's departure for the Dallas Mavericks shortly after Manuel announced a long-term deal, compounding legal disputes with the Big Ten and NCAA penalties exceeding $30 million.
