MORGANTOWN - Just because the University of Michigan admits its guilt - and for the first time ever of major NCAA violations - doesn't mean West Virginia University is also guilty.
Or does it?
It's hard to say. Really, it's no easier now than it was when we learned last month the NCAA had paid the Mountaineers a visit.
The common thread is Rich Rodriguez. It's a thread that seems to fray every time the Wolverines make news that is more often bad than good. Rodriguez coached the Mountaineers before leaving for Michigan. Apparently that was enough for the NCAA to knock on WVU's door in February to ask a few questions.
You can trust that it wasn't just curiosity. There was a clear purpose. If you didn't believe it before, do so now.
Maybe there wasn't any news in Michigan's admission Tuesday.
