What I take from this... UM will wind up not paying 50 million but some intermediate figure. How close to 50 might determine whether UConn blows up the ACC (I'm still thinking FSU stays put... for now).

Hmmm, so they didn't wait until MD brought suit in the Md courts? Interesting ....

was going to mention the same thing... Seems that people were paying attention when WVU pulled the bat- crazy we're outta here routine.
 
Well I'm confused. Wouldn't there have to be a breach or intended breach of the contract to justify or warrant a suit? Was Maryland supposed to cut a check yesterday? Really strange.

Tell you what. Maryland gets out of that exit fee or gets it significantly reduced the ACC is in a world of hurt.
 
UConn doesn't 'blow up the ACC'.

People need to stop parroting message board nonsense as if it's fact.

im going to guess this never reaches court and they settle for 18 to 23 million.
 
I'm sure UMD is going to get all due consideration in a Greensboro court. Bet the judge is a UNC/UNC law graduate or possibly a Dukie.

This......this is the whole ball game.

ACC needs Maryland to pay $50M, or pretty damn close, or it gets real ugly real quick.

From the comments in this thread, it would seem that UNC is leading the way with the lawsuit - is there any evidence to support this? If this is true it should quiet the UNC rumors, that is, unless MD wins and pays much less than 50. I'd guess and put the tipping point at 30 mil.

You're assuming the ACC exit fee doesn't work because the ACC filed a lawsuit to compel its payment?

they voted against it and swofford left no time for schools to leave, he tried to pull a fast one. it wont hold up.

the b12 gor is not held by the b12 offices. those media rights are held by espn and fox w/e the split is $ wise. when 8 of the 10 schools leave for the pac or sec like i have guessed in another post. espn and fox will allow them to do so becuase they will still own the rights to those schools. that allows fox a very small amount of media rights into the sec contract and espn a decent amount of rights into the pac contract. soemthign that oth networks didnt have before. the gor is a false and will b exposed just like the acc fee will be.

It wasn't supposed to keep Maryland from leaving. Only to make Maryland pay $50 large on the way out.

I'll weigh in -- I doubt the ACC would win if they litigated the issue to the end.

No, the intent of this or any of these fees/grants or whatever, is to make it so expensive for schools to leave that they decide against going. But it never works.
 
another talking point in all this:

the reason the b10 started with md is becuase they voted no to the 50mil buyout. they paired md with ruty becuase they are a nbe team that can easily get out. we already know this from wvu/cuse/pitt. so they get md and they are going to help them get that buyout down as much as possible. the acc sues. now md will have courts moved and plays games for a bit. eventually they will settle out of court for some where around the old buy out #. then, the b10 will turn around and tell uva to move and they will bring another nbe team with them. now lets say thats uconn. uconn easily goes just like ruty. uva then turns around and uses the md buyout as the price in court and boom. no the b10 hands are clean becuase they didn't try to add multiple schools at once and all that, they aded 1 school and others in the league are now looking as they feel when the buyout was put at 50 mil, this wasn't the same league we signed up for blah blha. now the sec will do its work and the b10 will go for the kill and invite unc. they will take 1 of bc/cuse and nd with unc and the game was all a big joke on swofford. b10 hands look clean compared to a big ugly sweeping grab.

I like your thinking Dan! But 2 questions:

1) The above scenario will take weeks/months. How does the BiG get UConn, assuming the ACC grabs them in the coming days? If UConn is truly a target for the BiG, they need to act quickly and can't afford to play chicken.

2) The above scenario puts the BiG at 16(+) teams rather quickly. Based on previous moves, why do you believe that they become the aggressor and are no longer one of the last conferences to react with the SEC/PAC assuming that they can pretty much get whoever they want, whenever want?

1) the b10 will take its time for legal and perception purposes, but it already has its path maped out. so they would have told uconn not to go and just hnag on for what ever tiem lenght. its risky on uconns end.

2)once they move the sec and pac will answer, then they can force more. there are 2 importnt dates. nds contract for tv in 2015 and the b10 tv contract in 2017. i think the b10 wants to stop the slow show and get its ducks all set by 2017 to cash in 40mil plus a school.
 
Does this mean the B1G is going to pull a BCU on the ACC schools??
