Florida State University (FSU) has accused the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) of misrepresenting facts in a legal filing, hinting at a potential exit from the conference. FSU's attorneys highlighted the ACC's attempt to retain FSU's media rights for 12 years post-exit, suggesting FSU's imminent departure. The dispute revolves around the ACC's handling of confidential terms in the ESPN deal. FSU is pushing to continue discovery in the case, aiming to uncover the truth behind the situation.
The ACC should update its court filing with this. https://t.co/zxM3C8dp11
Today’s legal filing from Florida State specifies that the ACC seeks to control FSU media rights for a “dozen years after FSU exits the ACC”. 12 years before 2036 is 2024. 👀 https://t.co/ka9zHd8QAn

Warchant noticed a shift in FSU's language about exiting the ACC in its latest court filing in Leon County. I decided to look a little more into the specifics. Quick thread...
Interesting that FSU's attorneys mention the ACC trying to keep their media rights for a "dozen" years after FSU leaves the conference. Implies they plan to be gone in the next year or so ... which wouldn't be a shock. But interesting to write it that way. https://t.co/2PAChzXvEb https://t.co/IJR7aj1SaV

Is there such a thing as "home court advantage" for FSU and Clemson re: their lawsuits against the ACC? @mckenzielaw doesn't think so, and explained how the rest of their complaints don't really add up... https://t.co/qaawYtvmmO https://t.co/x8N1VP1KHU
In its latest legal filing in Leon County Court, FSU accuses the ACC of misrepresenting facts and also seems to make it clear that it won’t be in that league for long. Our @IraSchoffel has the story: https://t.co/aHkBmRzLWw
