ESPN.com reports that West Virginia University’s football program is under investigation because of former head coach Rich Rodriguez, who may have violated NCAA rules.
West Virginia officials wouldn’t comment on the specifics of the allegations, but a source close to the situation said the allegations center on former Mountaineers coach and current Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.
Michigan is currently under investigation for alleged NCAA rules violations concerning the amount of time players spend on football-related activities.
“The NCAA has met with individuals involved with the West Virginia football program to identify any potential rules violations,” school officials said in a statement, released on Tuesday. “The university has fully cooperated with the NCAA during this process. West Virginia University and its department of intercollegiate athletics is committed to operating its athletics department in conformance with the legislation and policies of the NCAA and the Big East Conference.”
I implore anyone to tell me one good thing that has happened to Rodriguez since he left West Virginia high and dry in December of 2007. Since then, he’s produced two awful seasons in Ann Arbor, has had players transfer because of the way he and his staff treated them, and is the target of NCAA investigators for possibly violating rules.
It’s save to say that karma hunted this guy down and has been delivering hay-makers to his face ever since.
