The amendment from Florida State comes after Leon County Judge John C. Cooper gave the public institution the ability to re-file.
Florida State University has amended a second complaint in its lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference. This move comes after Leon County Judge John C. Cooper dismissed FSU’s case against the ACC without prejudice, allowing the public institution to refile with clearer language and a stronger argument as to why this case should be held in Leon County as the ACC is headquartered in Mecklenburg, North Carolina .
It would go on to mention the ACC stated on April 9 that “ESPN doesn’t have the right to broadcast anything” once FSU leaves the conference. Therefore, Florida State argues, “Because ESPN has ‘no right’ to FSU’s home games after FSU leaves the ACC, those media rights are not ‘necessary’ for the ACC to perform the ESPN Agreements. Hence, the media rights to FSU’s home games after it leaves the ACC never transferred to the ACC in the first place.
In 2022, Commissioner Jim Phillips referenced the withdrawal payment as a “nine-figure financial penalty,” similar to the verbiage in the 2013 casewhich was held in the Court of Appeals for North Carolina. That Court also deemed the amount owed as a “penalty.”
