Pep Hamilton's departure from Michigan's football program officially went in the books as a resignation, with the university willing to pay his base salary through the summer.
Hamilton's separation agreement with the university, signed Feb. 4, was obtained by the Free Press via a Freedom of Information Act request.
In the letter, sent from Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel to Hamilton, Manuel outlined he accepted Hamilton's resignation on Feb. 4 and agreed the school would deliver his base pay ($1 million annually) through June 30.
The agreement stipulates Hamilton will not be eligible for employee benefits through that date.
