ACC wants FSU's lawsuit filed in Florida put on hold​


The Atlantic Coast Conference asked a Florida judge on Friday to press pause on a lawsuit Florida State filed, which claims the conference is breaching its contract, until a similar case concludes in North Carolina. The ACC and Florida State sued each other in late December to resolve a dispute over what the university would have to pay if it opts to leave the conference. Lawyers for the Seminoles estimate the school would have to pay $527 million to withdraw from the league and regain control over its media rights, severing a contract that isn't scheduled to expire until 2036. They argued that those fees are "draconian" and "unreasonable restraints of trade in the State of Florida." The ACC's filing on Friday argues that its grant of rights contract is governed by North Carolina law and that their North Carolina-based lawsuit should take precedence because it was filed first -- one day before Florida State submitted its claim to the Florida court.

Top CB prospect Nate Wiggins suffers hip injury at combine​


Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggens, one of the highest-rated defensive backs in this year's NFL draft, showed his elite speed but limped off the field inside Lucas Oil Stadium to abruptly end his workout at the scouting combine. Wiggins, the No. 16 player on Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest Big Board, ran a blistering unofficial time of 4.29 seconds in his lone attempt in the 40-yard dash -- the fastest among the first group of defensive backs to take the field Friday. Wiggins then limped toward the bench area, at times hopping to keep weight off his right leg, before being helped by a trainer. He told the NFL Network on Friday's broadcast that he suffered a hip flexor injury. Wiggins played 34 games during his career at Clemson, with 18 starts. He finished with three interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

clemson files lawsuit against acc over 'exorbitant' exit fees
In a filing in the court of common pleas in Pickens County, South Carolina, Clemson calls into question both the ACC's grant of rights and exit fees, calling the withdrawal penalty "unconscionable" and "unenforceable." The Clemson suit is significant because it indicates that the league's two clear-cut football powers -- and only College Football Playoff participants who play annually -- both want to leave the league.

Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit​


A Tallahassee judge has ordered Florida State and the Atlantic Coast Conference to enter mediation in hopes of settling a high-profile lawsuit that could dramatically impact the future of the league. Judge John C. Cooper technically approved the ACC's motion to dismiss Monday but gave FSU seven days to amend its complaint because the university needs more specificity regarding key facts in a case he said "is worth up to half a billion dollars." The conference would have 20 days to respond afterward, and another hearing would be set. The Seminoles are pushing to exit the ACC and explore a more lucrative landing spot, potentially the Big Ten Conference.

The hearing Monday was the latest in dueling lawsuits lodged in December. They include back-and-forth arguments pertaining to jurisdiction, a highly guarded grant-of-rights agreement between member schools and the league, and a confidential TV deal between the ACC and ESPN. The ACC's revenue increased to nearly $617 million during the 2021-22 season, with an average distribution of nearly $39.5 million per school for full members. Still, that leaves ACC schools receiving about $10 million a year less than SEC schools even though ESPN is partnered with both leagues in broadcast deals. Clemson, another ACC school, has joined FSU in challenging the ACC's right to charge hundreds of millions of dollars to leave the conference.
