Heading into only their second matchup in 83 years -- and it took the governor's involvement to help set this September's game -- school officials on both sides confirm a West Virginia student was caught spying at a Marshall practice this month.

...

Mark Gale, Marshall's director of football operations, said the student never admitted that he was enrolled at West Virginia. But officials found a card in his pocket that listed the names of the Mountaineer football staff and their phone numbers.

Marshall officials said the undergraduate student initially claimed to be a member of the media who was taking notes for a story. When challenged, they added, he said he attended the University of Alabama-Birmingham, one of the Thundering Herd's Conference USA rivals.

Then he allegedly tried to flee.

...

Pastilong's counterpart at Marshall, Bob Marcum, joked that he's just pleased that someone cares enough to check up on Marshall.

Weird! Wonder if this happens in I-A, I-AA, or anywhere else?
