The process of Clemson leaving the Atlantic Coast began this week with a court filing in which the university is suing the conference over the Grant of Rights, exit fees and media rights fees, hindering the university’s chances to explore other options.
Clemson has filed against the ACC in Pickens County, South Carolina, TigerNet confirmed with a copy of the filing. This is the second lawsuit that the ACC faces, as Florida State and the ACC currently have dueling lawsuits.
At the heart of it all? There is a growing monetary disparity between the ACC and conferences like the SEC and the Big Ten.
