Rich Rodriguez leaving West Virginia for Michigan is just another sign of the lack of respect coaches have for their players.

These guys aren't held accountable because no one will stick to their guns and fulfill a contract.

RichRod's departure is not as weak as Bobby Petrino's carpetbagging ways, but RichRod did say last year that he wasn't going anywhere and 20 some recruits signed on after that statement. Now if those kids, and they are kids, decide that the new coach doesn't have their best interests in mind, they can transfer but must miss a season.

If the NCAA won't put a stop on these changes and make contracts actually worth something, at least, it could let players at schools who change coaches go somewhere else without sitting out a season.
