Is Michigan having buyers remorse with Rich Rodriquez? Probably not but they should be. Here's a guy that doesn't believe in honoring a contract and now Michigan has helped settle the West Virginia lawsuit against Rodriquez by agreeing to pay West Virginia $2.5 million by July 31. For his part Rodriquez will pay $1.5 million in three installments of $500,000 beginning in 2010. And kudos to West Virginia for legally enforcing the contract that was signed by Rodriquez.
The American Football Coaches Association is leaning toward proposing an early signing date for the third week of December beginning in 2009. The trend seems to be that players are committing to schools earlier each year. The AFCA has surveyed coaches and conferences about allowing players to sign a National Letter of Intent before the current February signing day.
And for the last buzz item. If you are friends with a Gator fan and I hope you aren't, you well know that you hear from their little pea brains that the Gators and the SEC is so powerful and the Noles and the ACC are so weak. Well, who do you think loads their schedules with cupcake I-AA opponents the most? Correct- the all "powerful" SEC. A study conducted between 1998 and 2007 shows that the SEC ranks third in conferences in scheduling these cupcakes behind the Mid-American and Big 12 conferences. The ACC was fifth. Wonder if their pea brains can process that information?
