"Moore, 39, was fired on Wednesday for what the school called an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Hours later, he was in police custody. Authorities have not released details on Moore's arrest, other than to say he has been held since at the Washtenaw County Jail and remained under investigation. Pittsfield Township police had issued a statement that said officers were called to investigate an alleged assault and took a person into custody, without mentioning anyone by name."
"Michigan has not disclosed details of the alleged relationship but said an investigation found credible evidence against Moore, who is married with three young daughters. Athletic director Warde Manuel said the behavior was "a clear violation of university policy." Moore signed a five-year contract with a base annual salary of $5.5 million last year. According to the terms of his deal, the university will not have to buy out the remaining years of his contract because he was fired for cause."
