Rich Rodriguez to pay back money

ESPN:

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University says ex-football coach Rich Rodriguez has agreed to pay a $4 million buyout clause after breaking his contract.

That would settle WVU's lawsuit that had been set for trial this fall. WVU attorney Tom Flaherty says the tentative agreement was reached late Tuesday night.

Rightwing Republican blogger Vic Sprouse made a big deal out of how Rodriguez was right to screw WVU, with his comments angering even his fellow Republicans on a football message board. Looks like Sprouse has to dine on crow. I'm sure it's a dish he's quite accustomed to eating.

Update by Clem G. Here's the link to the sports message board Carnacki mentioned. There's a few choice comments there.

Vic's new point of view (0.00 / 0)
He says now that it's good we can all move on.  But how sad that lawyers will get paid.

I guess he's fine with Michigan tax payers having to pay millions for Richie Rich's decision. So much for personal responsibility.

When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it. Sherlock Holmes.
