The Atlantic Coast Conference filed an amended complaint in superior court Tuesday seeking damages from Florida State for "serial breaches of critical legal promises and obligations" and questioned FSU's right to have leadership in ACC positions.

The 55-page filing in Mecklenburg County (North Carolina) marks the latest in the procedural jockeying between the ACC and Florida State over that school's challenge to the league's grant of rights.

The ACC had initially filed a claim on Dec. 21 to protect the league's grant of rights, which run through 2036. FSU filed the next day in Leon County (Florida), claiming that the ACC restrained trade, breached the contract and cited years of mismanagement in the league.
