It is going to end up in North Carolina Federal Court because Maryland has diversity they will likely move it from State to Federal Court. I believe the ACC screwed up royally how they did the replacement process for Maryland. Maryland is likely to argue that the liquidated damages provision in withdrawing from the conference are punitive penalties and don't reflect actual damages. If the ACC can prove the withdrawal liquidated damages provision isn't punitive then Maryland will have to the entire 52.6 million dollars. The reason why the selection of Louisville so soon was dumb is because Maryland will argue the damage wasn't excessive to the ACC and this provision is punitive. Unless we read the partnership agreement of the ACC I doubt we will ever know, and BTW do NOT LISTEN to WVU dumb fans who say this will lead to Discovery, and subject Swofford to a deposition. While this stuff is true everything in discovery will have protective orders barring their release public, and if Maryland ever leaked anything given a protective order they would GET HAMMERED BY A JUDGE. I think the ACC knows this lawsuit is too important to settle and I believe Maryland will eventually agree to an undisclosed settlement very close to the 50 million mark.
