Maryland files a $157 million counterclaim vs. ACC. Alleges Wake Forest/Pittsburgh officials tried to recruit unnamed B1G schools to leave.— Alex Prewitt (@alex_prewitt) January 14, 2014
And the ACC tried to poach Big Ten schools, plural... PSU seems obvious, but which school is the logical choice after that?
Alleges that b/c of "counsel and direction...received from ESPN," the ACC has tried to lure other schools "to extract more lucrative terms."— Alex Prewitt (@alex_prewitt) January 14, 2014
Oh, that seems familiar. Remember what BC AD Gene DeFilippo said back in 2011 following the ACC adding Pitt and Syracuse: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2011/10/bosto....
"We always keep our television partners close to us,'' he said. "You don't get extra money for basketball. It's 85% football money. TV - ESPN - is the one who told us what to do. This was football; it had nothing to do with basketball.''
Watching this lawsuit play out will be fun.
