Michigan AD denies apologizing to Chris Webber for 2003 investigation, fallout

Chris Webber will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday, and believed that his feud with Michigan was well behind him.

Wolverines athletic director Warde Manuel, however, seemed to reignite that beef on Friday.

Manuel, days after Webber said he had received an apology from him for how he was treated during an investigation over claims that he accepted money from a booster at the school and eventual disassociation, refuted Webber’s claims and said he never actually apologized.

"I enjoyed the conversation with Chris when we met several years ago," Manuel said in a statement, via ESPN.
