The ACC countersued Clemson on Wednesday in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, arguing that the school is subject to the grant of rights and withdrawal penalty it agreed to as a league member, while also seeking monetary damages.
The move comes one day after Clemson sued the ACC in Pickens County, South Carolina, challenging the grant of rights and $140 million withdrawal penalty -- joining Florida State in suing the conference in a first step to potentially leave the league.
Florida State filed its suit in December in Florida, one day after the ACC preemptively filed its own suit in Mecklenburg County, asking a judge to declare that the grant of rights "is valid and enforceable" and will remain so through June 30, 2036.
