I personally think that would be up to how much they are making off that sponsor. I mean if your making $50 a week from a sponsor sure you would probally can them in a heartbeat for settling but if your making $1500 a week or more then I would probally say they would not can that sponsor because its paying their bills and extra fun and such. Not to mention tehy are now safe to promote that sponsor as well. If someone drops a sponsor for settling its not because they settled it would be because the sponsor ratted them out to Acacia by offering their customer db.
