[QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 542420, member: 405"]
Questions of fact will arise as to the measure of damages.  How is it measured?  By the impact on TV contracts?  Can you measure the instability inflicted on the conference by a defection? (Look to the Big East...)  Maryland will argue that Louisville was quickly grabbed as a replacement, mitigating the ACC's damages, but if I were arguing the case for the ACC, I would be pointing a finger at what happened to the Big East and say that the damage to my conference cannot be measured and that the full exit fee must be upheld because (A) it was agreed to by the membership; and (B) if the Big 10 is permitted to do this again, tens of millions of dollars per year in damage will be done to *each* member institution many years into the future.  What's the total value of the ACC's contract with ESPN, something like $2 billion over 10 years?
 
Sure, this will probably be settled, but not until one side or the other releases some damaging information to get the momentum going their way.
