Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 37022, member: 780"] SU and all the others have a contract with the Big East. That contract has provisions for leaving the Conference ($5M, 27 months, etc)? How could SU's exercising their rights under that contract make it liable for damages. Unless, of course, they had to sign a new contract when ESPN renewed the deal at a higher rate. As far as I can tell the Big East suit against BC and the ACC was a huge failure. All that BS about "collusion" and "seeking to destroy the Big East' was pretty much laughed out of court. BC paid the $1M they would have anyway and the BE schools paid huge legal bills. The winners in that deal were the lawyers, who must have marvelled at their good luck. And that sleazebag Blumenthal, who rode this and other pure-politics stuff into a seat in the US Senate. [/QUOTE]
