"The relevant actions related to the case did not all happen in Rhode Island or West Virginia and there is no reason that Rhode Island serves a more useful venue than West Virginia, Clawges said.
"The private interest of WVU and the public interest of the state of West Virginia clearly predominate in favor of the action remaining in the state of West Virginia," the order reads. "The only reason for the action to be moved to an alternate forum is the private interest of the Big East, who wants the action moved to the forum of its location"

The sad thing is, the judge is correct. The Big East is incorporated in D.C., with only one school in Rhode Island. And the big kicker, the constitution didn't have a forum selection clause. Oooopsie.
