The University of Maryland filed a lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference after the college football association sued to force the school to pay $52.3 million in exit fees for leaving the group.
The college claims in a lawsuit filed in Prince George’s County Circuit Court in Maryland that the exit penalty is a violation of antitrust law, state Attorney General Douglas Gansler said today in a statement. Maryland also seeks to dismiss the ACC’s lawsuit in state court in North Carolina.
“Our lawsuit calls the ACC’s ‘exit fee’ what it really is -- an antitrust violation and an illegal activity,” Gansler said in the statement. “Our motion in North Carolina will ensure that a Maryland court will rule on the case.”

I would just fax the contract, that Maryland signed - agreeing to the buyout, to the judge.

LSU should do this to the SEC over football scheduling.
