Rich Rodriguez Letter Raises More Questions Than It Answers
Written by Jeff Woollard   

Several weeks ago, Michigan issued its public response to the ongoing NCAA investigation into its storied football program. Renewing the discussions concerning Rich Rodriguez and his tenure as Michigan’s head football coach.

Prior to that, there was great debate web wide about the NCAA investigating WVU concerning Rich Rodriguez and his time as the head football coach.

Mountaineer Football: The Key To Success In 2010
Written by Jeff Woollard   

In the winter of 2008, Mountaineer fans everywhere were livid over the loss of potential star QB recruit Terrelle Pryor, along with a certain head coach. Pryor ended up signing with The Ohio State Buckeyes.

The Mountaineers went searching for a replacement and found Tajh Boyd, another potential top QB recruit. Eventually, Boyd decided WVU’s offense was not good enough. He and his father went south, literally, to Clemson.

Finally, Eugene Smith signed on and accepted the challenge of carrying the torch that is WVU football’s quest for a national title.

Garrison reflects on controversial term as WVU president
Written by Mike Casazza Daily Mail sports writer   

MORGANTOWN - Former West Virginia University president Mike Garrison has had time to reflect on his brief term at the school and the perceived heavy-handed way some feel he performed his duties.

The partner at Spillman, Thomas & Battle - the law firm where he was employed before taking the WVU position in September 2007 and where he returned in September 2008 after resigning his post that June - said his term may have been mischaracterized.

Could Bill Stewart Save The Big East?
Written by Jeff Woollard   

Several factors have combined to help shorten this year’s off-season for fans of the Mountaineer football team.

The first was an injury to Eugene Smith’s foot that prompted Coach Bill Stewart to move spring drills into April. A move that turned out to be a windfall for attendance at the annual spring game, it is believed this year’s spring game had the highest attendance ever.

The road not traveled
Written by Mike Whiteford The Charleston Gazette   

EVEN THE spaciousness of Whitey Gwynne's Buick did not offer much comfort on those long West Virginia University road trips in the 1950s.

Pete White, a 6-foot-5 center, still remembers sitting in the backseat, his knees pressed against the seat in front of him, as Gwynne, WVU's athletic trainer, negotiated the 10-hour drive from Morgantown to Durham, N.C., for a basketball game against the Duke Blue Devils.

Big East future is uncertain, but secure
Written by by Jack Bogaczyk Daily Mail Sports Editor

"There is no simple answer to your question," commissioner John Marinatto told The Courant last week. "As you know, we've always been at eight [teams]. There are issues associated with [eight] that are both positive and negative, but we do want to strengthen ourselves."

"There are no specific answers to share with anybody right now."
