According to Jim Carty of the Ann Arbor (Mich.) News, Rich Rodriguez’s lawer is expected to issue some sort of a statement this afternoon regarding today’s reports the former WVU coach and those under his command destroyed files and records in their final days on campus. I got to know Jim a little through some obvious past experiences and I’d say this is probably legit. I’d also say you can expect what amounts to an outright denial.

The entire day has been spent with the proverbial ear to the ground. This … this is very interesting. As one WVU employee said to me today, “It’s getting really ugly.”
