They probably believed that once the "court" weighed in, everyone would just accept it and go away.

the B12 did not cower back down and take the added revenue from a likely playoff game. The B12 was also not afraid to sanction one of its marquise programs when all of the other athletic departments expressed outrage.
The simple fact is that the B12 had the legal power to sanction TT, and it was unafraid to stand up to the threats. The Big 10 could have, and should have, done the same. Michigan would have folded as well because this only happens if the conference decides to let cheating and rule breaking slide to avoid the conflict and monetary loss.
