Well, this mornings rumor mill is now centered on West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez -- and IMO this one has legs. I will go down the tidbits I have found.noticed and let everyone else decide.

-- Bama board at Scout.com is saying that Rodriguez has agreed to contract, but wants to wait until after WVU plays Rutgers game Saturday.
-- Tide Pride aircraft flew to WV yesterday (Paul Bryant Jr. aircraft)
-- WVU blogs/forums are in full mourning mode this morning. Lot of people saying "We just can't match what Bama offered" "players are saying it is a done deal' "Friend on BOT says Coach Rod is gone" etc etc
-- Morning radio in Morgantown is discussing nothing but Rodriguez leaving rumors
-- Sports radio 740 in Montgomery says they think there is truth to the rumors according to thier "Sources".

SO, there you have it -- lots of rumors etc etc -- Most people seem to think if it is true it will leak out to the major sports press some time today.

Morning ping - see above -- lots of talk centering on WVU coach Rich Rodriguez this morning. Don't know if it is wishful thinking, smoke screen, or what -- but it is not just one rumor, it is widespread.

Heard all of that as well. One thing about Cub's aircraft, it was not in morgantown yesterday. It was in Austin. Link - N323P

But, the university plane was in WV last week (at whatever that exclusive resort is there).
