RR will only have to pay 2mil of the buyout, or should I say Michigan will pay 2mil of the buyout. It will be negotiated down.

I think they negotiated that into his contract when he tried to go to Alabama. A Coach taking another job has a duty to mitigate but not a university. Doubt if West Virgina is going to negotiate that whatsoever.

Found this on the net

Last December, Rodriguez agreed to a one-year contract extension through 2013 after he turned down a lucrative offer from Alabama. The extension includes a $4 million buyout clause if he leaves before August 2008. That doubles the amount from the previous contract.
