All of the drama finally ended Wednesday in the way many thought it would conclude the day before, with the firing of Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez.
It took a second day of meetings between Rodriguez and athletic director Dave Brandon, an unforeseen twist, to complete the divorce. But the end of Rodriguez's strange and awkward limbo will officially be announced at a 12:30 ET press conference.
Rodriguez, 47, had three years remaining on a $15-million contract. A buyout reportedly could pay him $2.5 million per season.
