I think Jake was using the term 'invited' not literally, but generally.  We were told they were interested.  They visited the campus, doing their 'due diligence" (although I'm not sure what they needed to see that they couldn't have found out - probably just a chance to shmooze).  They told us that they were going to vote on making an offer and that they believed an offer would then be forthcoming.  Then VA politics intervened.  End of story.

I agree with some of your thoughts.  Disagree with others.  I agree I would rather have UConn and RU in a weakened BE, or the MAC.  Not a lawyer, but I highly doubt there would be a lawsuit, at least one involving us.  The remaining teams can't afford another loss (which I have to believe would be the outcome).  They also should not want to bite the potential hand that feeds them.  If there is room for expansion in the future, they can't take the chance of our being vindictive and trying to blackball them (see BC-UConn).
