I have not read the filings, but on the surface this apears to be a frivolous claim.

There is no dispute that UMD approved of the initial withdrawal fee s they will owe no less than that number.  The ACC has the right to withhold payments to UMD in lieu of UMD's dduty to pay the exit fee.  The only real issue is how much UMD owes.

As to Pitt and Wake recruiting a B1G school, UMD is essentially giving strength to the ACC claim against the B1G for tortious interference.  This is likely to go nowhere.  I cannot see where B1G teams would be willing to allow public scrutiny of their inner workings in such a volatile situation.  There is no benefit to the B1G's dirty laundry being aired out in a competitor's forum and  a competitor's benefit.  Plus UMD and the ACC did the same to the Big East - TWICE!

As to the $157MM one has to wonder where that number comes from.  As no teams left the B1G, where is the loss?  Assuming UMD could prove their entire case, they must still prove damages.

This guy must be running for Congress.  Only Congress is allowed to pull numbers from their posterior and use them as if they are fundamentally sound.
