I 100% agree.  Mr. Under Armour better have that checkbook ready.  There is more to this decision than just the $50 million MD owes.  The ACC can argue that anything less than full enforcement of the contract will leave the door open for other schools to renege and leave, thus completely diminishing the value of the overall product.  To prevent further pillaging by outside interests, the CONTRACT must be upheld.  Just because MD voted 'No' doesn't mean they get special treatment or can skirt the contract.  They knew going into the vote that they very well may end up on the losing side.
 
This is not a WVa to Big 12 case.  WVa was able to get out because the value of the BE, and thus WVa's future interests, was in jeopardy.  The ACC was healthy and was about to become more valuable with the addition of ND.  Maryland has ZERO ground to stand on.  Nothing, unless you count their financial incompetence as an organization.  "Sorry, Your Honor, but we blame the ACC for making us spend more than we had to keep our athletics afloat."
 
I'm no lawyer, but that'll work, I'm sure.  :rolleyes:
