In hindsight, UConn got thrown under the bus in the aftermath of the lawsuit. They have gotten screw in CR, no doubt. So maybe it wasn't worth it. However, despite the fact that I was very much in favor of gutting the ACC and the Bendict Arnolds, I didn't count on the uselessness of the courts. When it comes to $$$$$ and college athletics (the Notre Dame, OSU, Texas, UNC & Kentucky in hoops), the courts look the other way. Proof??? How does the old USFL (the Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Herschal Walker league) WIN in an antitrust suit against the NFL and end up being awarded treble damages (the "endzone" in these types of cases) and end up being awarded $3.00. The judge presiding over that case should have been immediately disbarred and jailed - or executed. He made a mockery of the legal system why? Because it was just football?
So the Big East suit against the ACC should have been a major, devastating blow to that conference and the schools abandoning ship. Instead the suit was treated like a joke.
