Well summarized, Neil.  The hoops schools will lose their own credits if they do not handle this well.  I suspect that the football schools need each other at least one more season.  The hoops schools may make an agreement to split next June with rights to their NCAA credits and possibly a split on those of WUV, Syracuse, Pitt, ND and Louisville (Rutgers never earned a NCAA credit!).  There is simply too much money on the table to not seek a way of retaining those credits for the remaining teams. 
 
I agree that there is likely to be lawsuits.  Even if the current/new Big East teams can agree on something, WVU, Pitt, Syracuse, ND and Louisville would have a reasonable claim that the conference they left is dissolved and their credits should revert to them. 
 
There may be one solution where the schools that left may get involved in the discussions so as to preserve their credits (or at least some of it) while agreeing to schedule the hoops schools down the road.  This may also be done in football for Cincy, USF and UConn as they would be missing out on the $$$, too.
