It took an action of the governor to bring about a football matchup between West Virginia and Marshall, so the stakes are high for this matchup. That means espionage was going to be almost a given, doesn’t it? Well, it has begun. A West Virginia student, who works in the building where the West Virginia coaches work, was busted taking copious notes at a Marshall practice. Although the practice was open to the public, the NCAA prohibits opposing teams from attending without permission. In response, Marshall is expected to burn the student’s couch.
