Florida State board approves legal action against ACC
Florida State will officially be the first institution to challenge a grant of rights deal in court following a Board of Trustees meeting on Friday morning.
And there it is.
After months of saber-rattling and veiled threats, Florida State University has officially started the process of exiting the ACC. On Friday morning, the Florida State Board of Trustees unanimously voted to take legal action against the conference, challenging its grant of rights and the exit fee, which is three times the league’s operating budget, or roughly $130 million.
