Couple things, and I'll admit, I'm tackling them from a position of not at all being in the know.

I don't believe that SU really had an offer to the ACC.  I think we had an agreement, a handshake, whatever.  But whatever it is that formalizes that process, the VA Governor beat us to it.  Wasn't it made public record that the schools hadn't voted on the offer?  This time around, they've all voted, they've all accepted, they've had a press conference to announce it, which means somewhere in this great world there has to be something written that has formalized this per ACC bylaws.  Short of SU doing something completely unethical (knock knock...wood...wood), how could they rescind at this point?  Seemed easy to rescind last time, because the only thing that was ever announced was that they were doing a site visit.

As far as a Big East lawsuit, again, I'm talking out of school, but who would that lawsuit be against if the BE football folds.  Would it be against the ACC?  the Big 12?  Both?   And if the "Big East" is the suing party, does that mean that whatever schools that remain are the ones whose names are on the lawsuit?  Can you imagine any scenario right now where UConn or Rutgers would sign up for that?  They are both hoping to be either the ACC's 16th or the Big 10's 14th team.  Jump into a lawsuit, and you can probably close the book on that.

Short of some Rutgers or UConn whack job fan bringing a gun to accompany their instability and anger to a game, I'm not worried about playing out the 27 months of the Deadweight East.  I don't want to do it, but it's not something I worry about.  Maybe I'll be wrong.
