what was the result of that suit?

Someone more knowledgeable than me might be able to respond in greater detail...but ultimately I beleive all the lawsuits were withdrawn or found to be without merit. And of course as we know BC, VT, and Miami all went happily off to the ACC.

From one of the articles:

The case against the ACC was thrown out because attorneys could
not prove the conference did enough business in Connecticut to
warrant a state suit. By suing the conference directors as
individuals, Big East schools hope they can get around the
jurisdiction issue.
