West Virginia Fans should be mad

but definately not at Rich Rodriguez.

ESPN reported an article earlier today that said that Rich Rodriguez left West Virginia because of basic requests he had when he signed his extension. Allegedly, these small requests include things like allowing players to keep textbooks to having authority of the distribution of side line passes for Mountaineer games.

According to someone near the situation, these requests could have been completed with a meer $200,000 "in about fifteen minutes."


Ed Pastilong, West Virginia Director of Athletics
West Virginia Fans -- Burn His Couches.

If I were a Mountaineer fan, I would be furious. Not only did athletic director Ed Pastilong let BOTH of your coaches go to the SAME university, but he also allowed them to get out easily, without a fight.

The most pitiful of all of this is the insanity that is this decision. West Virginia's athletics will regress about 15 years in its progress towards respectability in the Big East. More then only their football program will hurt from this, but their entire athletic program.
