For what it's worth...this is a quick copy/paste from Wikipedia:  " When BC accepted, they were returned to the lawsuit still pending against Miami by several Big East schools. In response, Boston College petitioned the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts for a declaratory judgment to avoid paying the increased Big East "exit fee" that had been voted for but not yet amended to the Big East's constitution. Boston College won both decisions, but the Big East appealed. A secret settlement reported to be worth US$5 million was reached in May 2005, and as part of the settlement the ACC agreed to play a number of football games each year against Big East teams."
 
So, I think the added twists are :  BC was a defendant on the orig. suit against the first defectors and that is the suit that BC was eventually a part of.  This suit was started prior to the exit fee of $5M being voted on.  Even after it was voted on, when BC left, the fee was not yet amended to the BE constitution (whatever that entails).   I think this is much more muddled that the current situation with the exit fees.
