Alex Hickey Commentary on Vic Koenning Departure

Commentary

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — “Vic Koenning has been canceled!”

In a world where politics has transitioned from third-rail topic to seemingly the whole train track, that is how many are bound to interpret the defensive coordinator’s departure from West Virginia following a month-long investigation into his actions based on allegations from sophomore defensive back Kerry Martin Jr.

In reality, cancellation does not come with a $591,491 price tag payable over the next 19 months. Especially not in this economy. If it did, people would be shouting offensive statements out their windows and from the rooftops until the moneybags dropped.
