There are a number of legal issues before you get into the issue of whether to calculate damages. But if Maryland gets past the legal issues to that point, the ACC has a really weak case. Its pretty hard to argue with a straight face that losing Maryland cost them anything other than redesigning the logo.

At what point did MARYLAND offer up UofL as an equal?

03-rotfl

How much did ESPN reduce the TV contract when the ACC traded UL for MD?

So what damages are there to the ACC? They're making the same as they would have with Maryland.

could have made more with both UofL and Maryland. Could they not?

In order to make that argument, the ACC would have to prove that they would have invited Louisville regardless of whether Maryland left or not. Don't think they'd be able to do that.

The ACC folks on here really are going a bit too homerish with some of their arguments. Maryland has a pretty decent case for the ACC not losing all that much. It's just going to end in settlement. The ACC will fight tooth and nail though to keep what they have held onto, because if a court finds that they held more than the settlement amount, it seems likely they would be forced to pay interest on withheld money.

Why not? Hell, we even made Frank's B1G list back in the day for a B1G addition!
