Attorneys for West Virginia University have obtained new documents that show Rodriguez' representatives contacted Michigan on Dec. 11 to gauge their interest in him as their new head football coach.

Three days later, Michigan officials met with the former coach in Ohio to start hammering out a deal.

During his deposition on Monday, Rodriguez also testified that his original buyout clause in Michigan was set at $2 million. Rodriguez requested that the buyout be raised to $4 million, the documents said.

Depositions continue Wednesday in the case between WVU and Rodriguez over payment of his $4 million buyout with the Mountaineers.
