Often the agreement will spell out where any disputes will be heard and many agreements will also specify choice of law.  Ex: Venue may be NC while applying NY law.  If the ACC agreement has such clauses, it is most likely it specifies NC for venue.
 
For Maryland to win a removal to a Maryland court would be almost miraculous.  It's too complicated to explain here but there may be some hearings, but probably to no avail.  Ex: (If I recall correctly) WVU filed against the Big East but really failed overall.  They knew they would not win in the end so WVU settled.  That was with $20MM on the line, so if it was possible to win, they would likely have kept fighting. 
 
Maryland's best options are to pursue a fraud claim (which would probably fail, possibly on its own face value) or the punitive nature and thus they cannot get a fair hearing.  However, that would NOT preclude eliminating NC judges nor would it negate the choice of law if mentioned in the agreement, nor would it be moved to Maryland as teh ACC would reject that (or fight it).
