auwallace 6 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I still don't get why his michigan contract didn't include the WVU buyout. That just seems dumb to me. Why would you ever knowingly take a job anywhere if it might cost you 4 mil? Good luck with that michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietfan 233 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I couldn't help but laugh at this one post about Rodriguez over on Tidefans, however: http://www.tidefans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73012 Re: WVU: Rodriguez agrees to pay $4M Every time I see this kind of stuff about once-potential coaches, I say, "There, but by the grace God, go we". Not talking about the $ necessarily, but the additional bad pub we would have heaped on us by the media had he come to the U. Yeah....heaven forbid they get a Coach in Tuscaloosa that brings 'em bad press! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballFanatic 4 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Im assuming that michigan alums finally decide to pay up some $$ to aid in the buy out. I bet the only reason he was going through all this was michigan left him hanging on the buy out and wouldn't help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PChamp119 96 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm sure Michigan will cover it. I am sure Rodriguez thought about the buyout before signing the dotted line. I'd be shocked if UM didn't say "we'll pay it for you if you have to, but we'll fight it." If they don't pay it, he should just leave Michigan when he gets the chance. Michigan will want to keep him happy in the short term. Plus Rod will not have to pay it in one lump sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 WVU to pay $2.5M + Legal Fees Article says he owes $1.5M annually over 3 years starting in 2010. Isn't that $4.5M? Interest? And why so belated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why so belated? I read this as RR will pay $1.5 mil over 3 annual payments or $500k/year. Michigan will pay $2.5 in July plus the legal fees. This is done by Michigan so RR focus on his duties at hand. Geesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Detroit I went to Ann Arbor several times and came to a conclusion You either have butt-ass ugly girls or beautiful ones. There is no in between or middle ground.
