That has already been settled:

The [URL='http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/terrapins-insider/']University of Maryland[/URL] and the ACC announced a settlement Friday that allows the conference to keep $31.3 million in exit fees paid by the school in the wake of its move to the Big Ten.

The agreement, which ends nearly two years of contentious litigation, frees Maryland from making any future payments to the ACC, of which it was a founding member. While it closes a round in the multimillion dollar game of conference realignment, the settlement also could set a precedent — and send a stark message — for schools looking to move and conferences seeking to stop them.

“I think what most conferences will do is make it more difficult to exit in the future,” said Gabe Feldman, director of the sports law program at Tulane University. “I think the ACC has made that clear.”
