Zavier Simpson was suspended after wrecking Michigan AD Warde Manuel’s family car
- Thread starter ObeseMuffins
- Start date
Crashes into piole at 3:00am, lies to officers about his name, officers notice him stumbling, recognize he is Zavier Simpson. He was not taken in, and no breathalyzer was done? Ticket for driving too fast under condition? Caught quite a break.
Let me get this straight. Officer noticed him stumbling when getting back in the car. But said he didn't smell alcohol.
So no breathalyzer? Something smells fishy here
Also driving the Athletic Director’s car?
Why on earth is a basketball player driving the AD's vehicle? That has to be a violation.
Heck, at the small college I went to, my head coach gave a ride to a teammate and they had to report it as a minor infraction.

Yeah, some small college level team actually lost their national championship because their coach loaned his beater of a car to players to get around campus...........
Michigan won't get so much as a slap on the wrist.

Player literally driving the athletic director's car? At 3 AM? - LMFAOOOO
What a huge stain on that ADs reputation nationally, especially if it's perceived that alcohol was involved.
I Imagine any other NCAA athletic director worth a damn is thinking to themselves, "Is this guy f'in serious???"

For all intents and purposes the car is probably Xavier's.
I think your right. Kid has been driving it since Sept.
I like how they wouldn't specify what rule he violated that led to his suspension
I can see that. No traffic at that hour.Maybe Zavier was just taking the car for a wash...
Technically...it was the AD's son's car. Everyone believes that, right?
The NCAA will believe it, so nothing to see here.

Well it is Michigan. “They” wouldn’t be dishonest or anything.
I’ve found an actual picture of the NCAA here.
Didn't an Iowa coach get fired for helping a girl on his team pay for her rent or meals? That's ten times worse than giving a car to a top basketball player. The Iowa coach was stupid. Didn't he have a relative who could have did this for him
But it’s Michigan so everything is “leaders and best” A-OK.
Move on...nothing to see here...

Good to know that it's apparently perfectly legal to give a fake name and lie to police in Ann Arbor. Down here in Florida that would probably get you arrested.
And he got very lucky to only get suspended for Nebraska but reinstated for Rutgers. Without his 10 assists against Rutgers they might have lost. Very lucky.

I think you're thinking of the volleyball coach. He told a player she would be on scholarship, she got here, she wasn't. So he paid for stuff like food and housing. Not allowed by the NCAA.
In the case of Simpson, I believe I read the AD's son was a manager on the basketball team, and the son and Simpson are friends. So plausible that Simpson is using his car. But a lot of items stretch the credulity as others have pointed out. No breath test on site. No charges for falsely representing himself to police. Not the end of the world, but definitely weird.
Simpson told police the car belonged to Evan Manuel, a student manager for the basketball team who is the son of athletic director Warde Manuel.
So, it's possible that the AD bought the car for his son and had it in his name and that the son let Simpson use the car. I mean It's also very possible the AD just gave Simpson the car but this does at least make it possible the AD didn't know Simpson was driving it.

Yes, kind of how they've always done things in Ann Arbor.

Agree that the Volleyball thing at Iowa, as lame, compared to this little story out of Ann Arbor.
Hypothetically, he's not wrong. Although rare, some of my college friends drove my car.
Still an odd situation either way.

So, Jok's problem was that he was riding his own scooter and not Barta's?
