Ann Arbor, Mich. ? Rich Rodriguez agreed to six-year deal worth $2.5 million annually when he left West Virginia last month for Michigan.
The contract, which has not been finalized or signed, also includes a $4 million buyout. The terms of Rodriguez’s deal were confirmed Sunday by school spokesman Bruce Madej.
West Virginia has sued Rodriguez to collect on a $4 million buyout clause in his contract with the Mountaineers.
When Rodriguez was introduced as Michigan’s new coach on Dec. 17, school officials declined to comment on any details of the deal.
