Quote of the Day

"I just want West Virginia to get the $4 million. If someone is generous enough to pay it, that's fine."

- Gov. Joe Manchin, to The Associated Press regarding the buyout clause in the contract of now-former WVU head football coach (and lifelong friend) Rich Rodriguez.

School officials argue that Rodriguez triggered that clause by leaving for Michigan, but "several wealthy donors to the school have alleged WVU let down its coach," AP reports.

Rich needs to pay up. I really don't care who did what when or where. A deal is a deal.

If you're gonna play with the "big boys", then sometimes you gotta pay.
