Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 1572223, member: 55"] 1. All the Plaintiffs hired Skadden to bring the suit. EVen if the AG told his client he wasn't going to represent them, the suit still happens. 2. The suit was needed at the time to show the now P-5 that any further steps against the Big East would be met by scorched earth attacks. It gave the Big EAst time. Had the Big East accepted the ESPN contract, it would still be here. You want to disagree with the litigation strategy with over a decade of hindsight -- more power to you. But the constant belief by many on the Board that Dick Blumenthal is why we're not in the P-5 is absurd. The University of Connecticut -- along with Pitt and WVU -- decided to bring this case. That is not an opinion-- it is fact. [/QUOTE]
