The ACC filed a brief Tuesday in North Carolina court in opposition to Florida State's motion to dismiss or stay its case, the latest legal filing before a scheduled hearing March 22 where both parties will make their cases in front of a judge.
In Tuesday's brief, the ACC outlined why the case should play out in North Carolina -- reiterating it is the appropriate venue for a dispute over a North Carolina contract to be decided.
The ACC filed suit against the Florida State Board of Trustees on Dec. 21 seeking declaratory judgment in defense of the grant of rights, one day before the Florida State board filed its lawsuit against the ACC that challenged the grant of rights and $130 million withdrawal fee.
