The Florida State Board of Trustees filed a motion Wednesday to dismiss the lawsuit the ACC filed against it in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
In the motion, Florida State argues the ACC lawsuit is "fundamentally flawed" and an improper attempt at "procedural fencing." They cite a "race to the courthouse" to file suit against Florida State first, its failure to secure a two-thirds member vote required by the league Constitution to initiate a lawsuit and a failure to show the FSU Board approved the grant of rights as required by Florida law, among multiple reasons.
If the court does not dismiss the lawsuit, Florida State has asked the court to stay the ACC suit in favor of the lawsuit FSU filed against the ACC in Leon County, Florida.
