My theory on the purpose of the lawsuits
The decision makers of shitbird nation know they are about to get drilled by the NCAA. The only thing they have left is to appease their shit bird fan base. Going down without a fight is just not an option if they want to hang on to the only thing they have left. Nafoom is having a circle jerk over this while the rest of the country is having a wtf moment.
Shitbirds circle jerking each other is all they have left.
I think the lawsuits were filed to help INCREASE revenue!
I've seen several posts on social media from Rebels saying they'll give them more business than ever before! The owner could well be playing it up with a large portion of the fanbase! I seriously doubt any Rebel wouldn't shop there for simply giving out merchandise to some recruits! I think all of this goes away and is just a way to scare the defendants and smear MSU!
