The University of Maryland has filed a $157 million countersuit against the ACC, raising a new allegation that the conference tried to recruit "at least" two unnamed Big Ten universities after learning of Maryland's intent to leave the ACC and join the Big Ten on July 1.
According to documents obtained Tuesday from the Maryland attorney general's office, athletic officials from Wake Forest and Pittsburgh tried to recruit "at least" two Big Ten schools to the ACC.
