The legal battle between Florida State University and the Atlantic Coast Conference is ratcheting up as the ACC is trying to halt a lawsuit filed by FSU.

The winner will move on to the NCAA Singles Championship.

Boston College pulled off the upset at Doak Campbell Stadium on Labor Day night.

Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner Jim Phillips called lawsuits filed by the schools “extremely damaging, disruptive and harmful” to the ACC.

Florida State University urged an appeals court to reject a request by the Atlantic Coast Conference to put on hold a lawsuit that could lead to the school leaving the conference.

A Leon County circuit judge heard arguments about whether FSU’s lawsuit against the ACC should be allowed to continue in Florida instead of North Carolina.

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 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.
