Conspiracy to X is a criminal charge, not the basis for a lawsuit. You can only sue someone over actual damages (or statutory damages), not hypothetical damages. If some DA wants to pursue criminal charges against UMN, that's separate from anyone asking to be made whole for the consequences of UMN's actions. There's also no general "Conspiracy" modifier to crimes. Rather, "Conspiracy to X" is a separate law for only a handful of X.
