When schools are hit by NCAA allegations, they are often hit hard in the bank account, too. Alabama rang up a rather large bill defending itself in that textbook case. Florida State spent a ton of money in an all together different manner when it got in trouble. And then there’s Michigan, which is nearly halfway to a million dollars into its defense.

Not to say WVU will have the same trouble. I’d imagine its legal counsel will do a lot of the work, though it does seem like a good idea/gesture to go outside and have an independent entity look at the case and help structure an argument. Who knows where the case goes or from where the money comes, but maybe WVU gets creative in finding funds?
