Like these "real live legal issues". You must not have been paying attention the last 20+ years. People can and win dumb lawsuits all the time. Here are few for your viewing pleasure.

As well as any negative publicity it generates for the B1G. They aren't exactly sitting in a great light as of now. Throw on some lawsuits and it could get bad for the B1G.
