Maryland's Athletic Department, after nearly two decades of Debby Yow's leadership, is deep in debt. The ACC's buyout is fifty million. I don't see how this happens without the Big 10 subsidizing the buyout/ensuing litigation.

If it's true they will probably assist in the legal challenge. No way Maryland ends up paying that much. No school has ever paid the full buyout from their respective conference. And they will probably argue that 1) Maryland voted against the buyout 2) It is extremely punitive and excessive.

They voted against it but are members of the ACC, and, as such, are bound by decisions and rules that bind all members, even if they don't agree with said rules.

Since when did the Big actually matter? I think DS was still in diapers.

So? I voted to elect Romney. I voted against President Obama's re-election but I was outvoted. So was Maryland. They must abide by the buyout. Rules are rules.

How much did Nebraska pay the Big-XII.

Kobe had to pay ex-wife $190,000,000. That was extremely punitive and excessive. So be it, he still had to pay it.

Maryland can leave. That will be $50,000,000. With $50 mil, the ACC can pay to build a brand new school to replace them.

We have a lot of laws in this country that are designed around the principal to preven the "fuck-and-run" scenario. The painful exit fee is one of them.

As far as I know, Maryland voted for this $50 mil. The vote went 10-2 (Clemson and FSU voting against it.) So..... they are going to have to come up with some big bucks.

Wrong. the votes against were Maryland and FSU

And no school that's left a conference in the past 5 years has paid the full exit fee. Nebraska & Colorado didn't. A&M and Missouri didn't. West Virginia didn't. Pittsburgh and Syracuse aren't. Maryland won't either.

And you haven't stopped whining about it...

The MAC finishes ahead of the B1G champ in the BCS standings.

Don't worry...the addition of Maryland and Rutgers will fix that....
