MARCH 15 HOWARD OUT According to multiple reports, the Michigan Wolverines have fired head basketball coach Juwan Howard after five seasons with the team.
The Wolverines just wrapped up a season in which they finished 8-23 and 3-17 in the Big Ten, finishing last in conference standings.
Howard had signed a five-year extension with the Wolverines in 2021, that was set to keep him in Ann Arbor through the 2025-26 season.
Under Howard, the Wolverines had reached the NCAA Tournament twice, making the Elite Eight in 2020-2021, and the Sweet 16 in 2021-2022.
However, over the last two seasons, the Wolverines finished with a combined 26-40 record.
Now, just like the Buckeyes, Michigan will be on the hunt for a new head coach, possible battling one another for their desired candidates.
But now, according to reports from ESPN’s Heather Dinich and Pete Thamel, the College Football Playoff is set to expand to 14 teams in 2026.
“The details of what’s expected to be a 14-team field won’t be determined until after the TV deal is done,” ESPN wrote.
Teams from the power conferences, as well as Notre Dame, are aiming to meet Friday for contract discussions.
