Your Mother Slept With Wilt Chamberlain

Well the WVU lawsuit v. He Who Shall Not Be Named may be going to federal court. We discussed here earlier that West Virginia filed a lawsuit against Rodriguez to ensure that they get the $4 million that is owed to them as part of the last contract that he signed. The lawsuit may be moved to federal court since Rodriguez now collects Michigan money.

“We’re perfectly comfortable and happy to litigate this case in any court,” said Thomas Flaherty, a Charleston attorney representing WVU. “This is not unanticipated.”

A quick look at Thomas Flaherty’s resume, and this guy apparently knows what he is doing. His resume reads like a novel, and his profile on Martindale gives him a very high rating. He is a West Virginia alum and one would think that he is gonna come after Rodriguez with guns blazing. I would say that the Mountaineers have a hammer on their side…

Rodriguez has a massive legal team on his side, led by Marvin Robon, based out of Ohio. His resume is just as impressive, once being involved in several high profile cases in Ohio and also attending international conferences, such as the 1990 Moscow Conference on Trade and Economic Law in the Soviet Union. He is also highly rated according to the Martindale website, which means that it is about to get ugly…

Well, it is about to get ugly. Rodriguez has apparently dug his heels in the dirt and so has West Virginia. Both sides have hammers for lawyers and both sides are about to spend a fortune in legal fees. It seems to me that he needs to pay the money. Michigan needs to make him pay the money; the school has plenty of boosters to pay the money for him. This is almost getting old…almost, but I am sure this pissing match will result in dirty laundry being aired out. When the dirty laundry is aired, it will be a pyrrhic victory to the victor…except for us bloggers so we can have plenty to laugh and write about…
