While I am not a lawyer, this just seems like grasping at straws to me.  A lame attempt to get the ACC to settle.

[I]Alleges that b/c of "counsel and direction...received from ESPN," the ACC has tried to lure other schools "to extract more lucrative terms."[/I] - Isn't that what the B1G did?  Maybe not from ESPN, but I can't believe they didn't seek advice from someone regarding how much MuD and Rutgers would 'bring' them.  Doesn't really matter who it is, private consultant or ESPN.

[I]Maryland files a $157 million counterclaim vs. ACC. Alleges Wake Forest/Pittsburgh officials tried to recruit unnamed B1G schools to leave.[/I] - This is just so silly.  It sounds like "MOM!!! He took my GI Joe!!  MOM!!"

[I]From the Maryland AG office: "We allege the ACC is confiscating NCAA monies that belong to Maryland when it has no right to do so."[/I] - I guess you can allege all you want, but aren't institutions entitled to withhold payment when owed money?
