Clemson vs. ACC exit fees lawsuit explained

Clemson became the second school to sue the ACC in state court in an effort to extricate itself from allegedly onerous exit fees and a grant of rights that runs for another 12 years.

The lawsuit, filed in Pickens County, South Carolina on Tuesday, follows a similar blueprint to the one filed by Florida State in Tallahassee last December. Both aim to challenge the veracity of the league's grant of rights, while the ACC's countersuit in North Carolina looks to uphold the agreement.

So, what does Clemson's latest legal maneuver mean for the ACC and the future of realignment?
