Michigan Coach Rich Rodriguez, in his tireless effort to weasel his way out of paying his buy-out, has reached the point which even casual observers will recognize as the beginning of the end: he's just making stuff up now.

A Fox Sports column today asserts that, in a deposition, Rodriguez claimed that he was "coerced" into signing his contract. Coerced. Into signing a multi-million dollar contract. Somehow, it seems, that Rodriguez wants us to believe that the powers that be at West Virginia are powerful enough to intimidate him into signing on the dotted line, despite his ready access to legal counsel, agents, financial advisors, and really any other sort of assistance he could ever want.

It's like the article said, he's making stuff up now. It's pathetic. Even those who were sympathetic to him at one point have to now realize he's just trying to screw WVU because they wouldn't tear up his contract and give him a raise for a third consecutive year. Give it up, Rod, and just pay back the money already!
