ACC Commissioner: FSU, Clemson Lawsuits ‘Incredibly Harmful’

Jul 22, 2024

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips laid into Florida State and Clemson during his annual football media days address Monday.

The two schools are embroiled in litigation against the ACC over the validity of the ACC’s bylaws and media contracts (including the “Grant of Rights,” the contract binding the member schools together). The goal: Figure out whether they can leave the conference early without paying nine-figure exit fees. FSU’s lawsuit goes a step further than Clemson’s in accusing the conference of negligence.
