Florida State motions to dismiss ACC lawsuit denied by N.C. judge

to dismiss or stay a lawsuit filed by the ACC that the league hopes will force the school to honor its grant of rights agreement and pay the conference more than $500 million if it hopes to exit for another conference before 2036.

The ACC filed its lawsuit in Charlotte on Dec. 21 in anticipation of a lawsuit by FSU in Florida, which came after approval by the school's board of trustees the following day. FSU's lawsuit seeks to extricate the university from the ACC's grant of rights, a contract that gives the conference ownership of Florida State's television media rights through June 2036. The ACC's suit seeks to uphold the grant of rights.
