I am not buying that argument. In any business you need integrity. Bobby Petrino dumping the Falcons and moving to R-Kansas is not OK but RR moving to UM before the bowl game is? Bo Pelini has stopped recruiting for LSU and has started recruiting for Nebraska while coaching LSU's bowl game. Why can't hot Rod do the same? He gave them no notice. The players are pissed, and he just dumps them and moves.

RE "integrity" - With respect to whom? His former employer and players, or his new? RR nows owes a duty to Michigan, and he owes WVU nothing, but he should show more "integrity" toward WVU than to UM? Don't think so....
RE Pelini - he'd be in Lincoln now if the 'Huskers had a bowl game to worry about.
RE "players being pissed" - like they'd be less pissed if RR stuck around? Isn't that kind of like living with your wife while you're going through a divorce? Best for everyone to move on and start over.
Besides, as far as I am concerned, all of this talk about "class" and "integrity" is beside the point. I don't really care whose feelings are hurt at WVU, or who got Machiavellian at UM - I am interested to see how this move affects Ohio State, both in recruiting and in The Game....

If your a player, do you want to play for a coach who's trading up?

Recruitung is in a quiet period until after the bowl games. Althoug Pryor has apparently been quoted as saying that R-Rod called him this morning.

I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say it firmly: There is a tendency for the world to say to America, "the big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out," and then to worry when America wants to sort them out.

Underwhelmed in that I honestly believe Michigan could have done better.
Overwhelmingly happy as a Buckeye fan however.

that's what I meant....you'd think Michigan would have more drawing power....that is, of course, had the AD not botched the process in the first place....
