I see this as the best analogy for West Virginia's lawsuit, and why I think it's a winner for them and a loser for Syracuse and Pitt.

Remember the little patrol boat in Apocalypse Now?  Let us say that boat is the Big East.  All the crewmen are the schools.  There you are, heading into the "weeds" and not knowing what is ahead.  And next thing you know, when things start getting a little hot, your boat starts taking a couple hits, two of your crewmen a medic and an engineer (su and pitt) bail out.  Clearly, they are in line for a court marshal.  Now you suddenly are shorthanded, not able to man all the guns and control the boat, take care of the boat engine or attend to the wounded.  Suddenly the engine begins to die, and another guy bails.  The boat is dead in the water, and you're a sitting duck.  The ships going down.

It is at that moment that a magic water sprite emerges from the water with a cloak of invincibility.

Point: Can you really court marshal the next guy who abandons ship for the tree sprite and the cloak of invincibility? No, you can't.  And that guy is WVU.
