Duke

It just keeps going. Now that charges against the Duke Lacrosse players have been dropped, there are speculations that they might sue the DA, the woman who charged them, and even Duke University.

Let the suing begin.

Suing their accuser is probably pointless, since their high dollar lawyers would charge more than they could get out of her. Perhaps they could get enough in a settlement to force her to work for them for the rest of her life.

Suing the DA shows promise, but again, even he isn’t worth as much as their lawyers. Rumor has it that the players’ law bills have already crossed the 3 million mark, and that for a case that never went to trail. The DA’s financial statements indicate that he is probably worth less than half a million total. Still, a big enough settlement and perhaps they could make the DA their slave for life too.

Suing Duke University shows real promise. Duke is loaded. Of course, the question is, what did Duke University do that is wrong? I can't imagine what Duke could have done differently. Perhaps they might not have canceled the lacrosse season, but can you really sue a university for canceling its sports games? Duke will settle if they are sued, which will create an interesting precident. While the NFL attempts to crack down on bad behavior, universities will be under legal pressure to take an anything goes approach.
