CLEMSON — Clemson athletic director Graham Neff says Clemson checked off the goals it had for suing the Atlantic Coast Conference last year.
According to Neff, the lawsuit achieved what Clemson wanted, especially in terms of gaining “certainty around our future media rights.”
The settlement agreement allows any league member “to pay a flat exit fee and leave with ‘exclusive’ access to their media rights.”
That was a point of emphasis by Clemson in its lawsuit – it wanted the ability to own its media rights if it were to leave the conference.
