The $4 million buyout clause dispute continues at the Monongalia County Circuit Court as lawyers for WVU and Rich Rodriguez battled Thursday.

According to Herald-Dispatch.com of Huntington, Monongalia County Circuit Judge Robert Stone issued pretrial rulings during a long hearing, granting key victories for both sides.

For WVU, the big win was an order compelling Rodriguez and his attorneys to produce by April 15 any correspondence between the coach, his representatives and the University of Michigan about his hiring and contract talks there.

The Michigan documents, including a term sheet that WVU obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, also show Rodriguez agreed to similar $4 million buyout at Michigan.
