Anti-trust (3times the amount the ACC is suing them for)- Why?

According to Maryland’s countersuit, a representative from Wake Forest and a representative from Pittsburgh “each contacted a Big Ten university in an attempt by the ACC to recruit at least two Big Ten schools to leave the Big Ten and join the ACC.” Maryland alleges that “these actions by the ACC were designed by the ACC to enable the ACC (and member universities) to extract more lucrative terms from potential broadcast partners, including from ESPN,” which provided “counsel and direction.”

Why?
If you have a case, sue for damages, if you don't have a case, sue for twice that.*
Or three times as much in this case

It's called treble damages. They are permitted in certain cases, such as anti-trust.

I am laughing at the idea that a school would leave the big ten for the ACC. Maybe they think Penn State would leave the big ten for less money and maybe Northwestern.

Rutgers and/or Penn State perhaps?
