They are stipulated damages. Nebraska and Colorado already agreed by signing the contract that leaving would cause damage (whether it actually ends up doing so or not) and that that the compensation for that damage would be as indicated in the contract.

Edit: As Alnorth already said...

Damages do not necessarily have to be proven because Nebraska already agreed back in 1996 that if they ever left it would result in damages.
