While confident that it wasn't an issue, Michigan's athletic department reached out to the NCAA following Zavier Simpson's traffic accident which involved Simpson's usage of a vehicle registered to athletic director Warde Manuel's family.

That conversation took place shortly after Simpson's accident on Jan. 26 and prior to Simpson's return from a one-game suspension that held him out of a Jan. 28 competition at Nebraska.

Simpson, a senior point guard and co-captain, crashed a 2011 Toyota RAV4 registered to Chrislan Manuel, wife of Warde Manuel.
