Rich Rodriguez and Michigan to split the $4 million he owes West Virginia

This ugly story has finally reached a closing mark, as West Virginia and Rich Rodriguez finally agree to a settlement on the terms of his recent departure from the school to take over the Michigan job. Rodriguez and Michigan will split the $4 million settlement in order to put the incident to rest finally, with the University paying $2.5 million and Rodriguez $1.5 million. Either way, this was one of the worst divorces ever between a former school and coach, and this one is especially saucy because Rodriguez is an alum himself. All in all, I'm glad this is over so that we can focus on the play on the field, and not the ugly back story.
