Next step for WVU-Rodriguez case
West Virginia University's $4 million lawsuit against ex-football coach Rich Rodriguez is headed for mediation, with the goal of resolving the dispute by Aug. 1. But WVU attorney Jeff Wakefield says Judge Robert Stone's order is standard, and he thinks it's unlikely mediation will help. Wakefield says the university remains firm in its position that Rodriguez owes $4 million under the contract in place when he resigned in December to take Michigan's head coaching job.

Until this is put to rest, it remains a distraction for both Michigan and WVU.

Field Marshall Sunny Day hit this one on the head. It's almost they want to prolong this, they aren't ready to give him up.

He owes them 4 million, what do you expect WVU to do? Nothing?

There is a difference between being owed 4 million and going through the courts to get it, and a smear campaign by fans and administration. That definitely is much more indicative of the ex-girlfriend analogy.

its kinda like when you make up excuses to "run into" your ex, or just happen to be at the same bar...WVU just happens to "need" that money...
Not that I know about any of that ex-girlfriend stuff....

They're going through the courts because it's the only way. He won't pay it. You can't not pay debts and expect a clean rep right?
That being said - i'm by no means a WVU fan. I just don't like seeing Michigan fans saying 'oh lay off, they shouldn't care, not his fault, ect'.

As far as WVU fans causing a scene - I agree it shouldn't happen - but there were Michigan fans lobbing JoePa jokes in an article yesterday so how is that any better?

He broke a contract and should have to pay all $4 million of it back.
