West Virginia University and ex-coach Rich Rodriguez will finally get a day in court.

Judge Robert Stone has set an April 3 scheduling conference and hearing date on motions and counterclaims filed in WVU's lawsuit over the $4 million buyout clause in Rodriguez's contract.

The hearing will be in Monongalia County Circuit Court in Morgantown.

Rodriguez resigned in December to take the head coaching job at Michigan, touching off a bitter and continuing public feud.

WVU attorney Tom Flaherty says depositions that had tentatively been set for this month are being postponed until sometime in April.
