ACC

The Atlantic Coast Conference has asked an appeals court to put on hold a lawsuit filed by FSU against the conference while a similar case plays out in North Carolina.

The judge gave FSU seven days to amend its complaint because the university needs more specificity regarding key facts. The conference would then have 20 days to respond.

A big-money battle between the university and its longtime conference is playing out in two states because the ACC is based in North Carolina.

A North Carolina judge denied a request by FSU to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Atlantic Coast Conference. The university is trying to sue its way out of the league.

The Atlantic Coast Conference says FSU broke promises when the Seminoles legally challenged an agreement that binds the school to the league for the next dozen years.

Attorney General Ashley Moody is demanding details from the College Football Playoff Committee about Florida State University’s exclusion from the four-team playoff.

A shakeup in athletic conferences has some of Florida’s top institutions feeling pressed to generate more revenue.

The Seminoles will be staying put in the Atlantic Coast Conference after all.

FSU has to make its departure decision by August 15th. If the school waits past that date, it will have resigned itself to another year in a conference where the relationship has become strained.

The FSU president says the Seminoles will have to consider leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference unless there is a radical change in revenue distribution.
