The University of Michigan and football coach Rich Rodriguez have agreed to pay a $4 million buyout owed to West Virginia.

“To help Rich focus on the challenges ahead, we have worked with him to resolve the dispute between him and West Virginia University over the terms of his buyout,” Michigan athletic director Bill Martin told reporters on Wednesday. “Although he continues to disagree with the validity of the terms, Rich and the rest of us at Michigan felt that it would be best to get this distracting issue behind us.”

Gee once UM had to give depositions about the process of hiring RIch, UM suddenly decideds to pony up 2.5 million dollars, i wonder if anything shady was done there, or it was really just wanting to move ahead. Im glad this is over, i still think coach rod is a great coach i just think he handled this entire manner in a very immature way that does not show good character to the children he preaches responsibility to everyday. Also Newsome his top recruit next year is close to backing out since Rod promised not to recruit any more qbs and since then he has offered 3 qbs scholarships, UHOH. Hope rod enjoys playing with his back up safety at qb this year . but in all seriousness, wen we switched from Don Nahlen to rich rod we were like 2-10 im sure michigan will have a similar year at like 4-8 its more to do with the dramatic change in offensive style then it has to do with talent pool and coaching talent, im sure in 3or 4 years they will be back to competeing if UM gives him the proper time. However im curious to see in two years what UM fans think of the bubble screen cause you will see it ALOT
