meh. Actually happens a lot more than you'd think, and it's far from the worst thing a college coach could do)

Also like to point out that I will not feel sympathy towards West Virginia people cause of how they treated Rich Rod's kids (both of whom are in middle school).

 

I am not much of a WVU fan and do not keep track of the inner workings...but, it was reported and confirmed by school administration that RR had some pretty basic requests after the season. Basically everything other schools do such as players keeping textbooks (to sell) after they were done with class (currently have to turn in), etc...basic stuff. WVU officials told him to stick it and RR interviewed with Meat chicken......

I am not overly intelligent but I have been exposed to some pretty big business and this strikes me as typical and spin control ... attack and deflect the blame, it has worked for me almost every time. I do not know this for fact but sure seems like a tactic that WVU has followed before...........in any case if they were personal files so what. Also the school should keep administrative files on athletes, that is not a coach's responsibility. 40 times, wt room progress etc, is really not a school administrative function, and RR can do with them as he pleases IMHO....grades and community service are their (administrative) responsibility and should not be kept at a coach's disposal.....blame yourselves admin's....IMHO only....
