Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1038173, member: 127"] If the exit fee is truly excessive, why commit to leaving the conference if the monetary benefit wasn't well worth it? If paying the exit fee is truly excessive, wouldn't any fiscally responsible university resolve any exit fee issue before they committed to the Big10 not after? Wouldn't proving whether its excessive and punitive be Maryland's responsibility and based on their ability to recoup those exit fees? $50 million might be punitive and excessive to Maryland if they had committed to join the A10 but not the Big10. Why would it have anything to do with damages to the ACC? Are they saying exit fees should be variable depending on a university's value to a conference? The logic of this suit seems backwards and strange to me. Of course I readily admit I'm a simpleton too. :cool: [/QUOTE]
