The lawsuit hurt UConn because they individually named Fr. Leahy, Gene DeFlippio, Donna Shalala and John Swofford so they had to be co-defendants and deal with depositions etc.

The damage UConn and Richard Blumenthal did was he nuked relationships with those people.

Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, West Virginia were co-plaintiffs with UConn. Syracuse was the only Big East football school that refused to be part of that lawsuit and that decision was noted by the ACC leadership. We took our invitation lost due to Marc Warner intervention with dignity and the ACC didn’t forget which is why we were 13.

Virginia Tech had to withdraw from the UCOnn led lawsuit as they were invited. The Big East eventually settled the lawsuit for a couple million dollars and the ACC giving those 5 Big East teams a home/home series with a different ACC team.

Blumenthal nuked UConn’s relationship with several ACC schools and when Duke and UNC wanted them as 14 the others said no.
