Rodriguez willing to pay $1.5 million to WVU

[Fire Wade]

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia says Rich Rodriguez owes $4 million for breaking his contract and moving on to Michigan. At most, Rodriguez countered Tuesday, it's $1.5 million.

Ultimately, a judge will decide who's right.
In a move his legal team calls a gesture of good faith, not an offer to settle, the former WVU football coach filed a $1.5 million letter of credit with the U.S. District Court in Clarksburg.

Rodriguez and his attorneys claim that's the maximum he could owe under his interpretation of the contract — an amount spelled out in a "maximum liquidated damages provision" that Rodriguez says was in effect when he resigned Dec. 18.
