Mountaineer fans will take solace knowing former head coach Rich Rodriguez will have to pay back 4 million dollars to the University. Fans of the school will never see any of the reclaimed money, but will celebrate like checks are in the mail.

According to Flaherty the Board of Governors will review the settlement which is for the full $4 million dollars.
