    If ASIC is the equivalent of institutional accreditation in the United States and the equivalent overseas why do the schools not have the DOT EDU after them?

    A couple do have .edu but that is likely because they were grandfathered (LBU for example) when anyone doing education could get a DOT edu address.

    ASIC is considered CHEA recognized but falls more in the quality assurance area and is considered a program accreditation instead of an institutional accreditation. Interestingly enough, some of these schools go this route in order to cross-validate with other international schools. An example would be American International Theism University. They have a partnership going with a Malaysian school that would allow a dual Doctorate award which would lead to the Malaysian school being equivalent to a US regionally accredited institution on a foreign credential evaluation.

    It would go a long way to establishing some credibility for me if an institution gained the dot EDU based on their accreditation by ASIC (as with the German ACQUIN). There are a couple of schools with .edu but they appear to have been grandfather.

    That doesn't mean really anything to me in this regard. It's not a global TLD.

    Right, the domain .edu was implemented in 1985 as a generic top-level domain. At that time, the domain could have become a global TLD, like .com or .org, but that never happened. Since 2001, new registrants for second-level domain names under .edu have been required to be US–affiliated institutions of higher education. This means .edu is the functional equivalent of education-related second-level domains under the respective county code TLD in other countries. Examples are .ac.uk in the UK or .edu.au in Australia. Incidentally, .edu is no longer considered a generic domain, but a sponsored domain.
