The ongoing legal battle between the ACC and Florida State University (FSU) has seen various developments, with ESPN's involvement highlighting the complexity of the situation. ESPN has expressed dissatisfaction with FSU and the ACC's decision to add what it considers 'conference filler' amid cost-cutting measures, despite being heavily invested in college football. The network is also seeking to seal contracts related to the FSU-ACC lawsuit, which has been deemed not crucial to the arguments of either side. Legal experts are analyzing FSU's amended complaint, which includes references to a 2008-2010 Swofford-Raycom Conspiracy, indicating the depth of the dispute. The case continues to unfold in court, with expectations leaning towards an eventual settlement between the ACC and FSU as legal expenses accumulate.

ESPN wants to seal contracts et al in the FSU-ACC lawsuit. It's not really important to the arguments of either side, and it's not something that I think the casual fan needs to know or will be interested in. But...
RE: ESPN upset with FSU. They were also upset with the ACC for adding what amounts to conference filler in the middle of their cost cutting. But ESPN is also heavily invested in college football. It's just like that sometimes.
Tried to explain this when the initial lawsuit dropped and FSU made a big deal about the GOR being treated like the Original Coca Cola recipe - it's rather standard. ESPN's been pissed by plenty of things with realignment, but what are they gonna do? https://t.co/SnsrqPDZyh
