Florida State is officially trying to leave the ACC, but how likely is it to happen?

It’s official: the Florida State Seminoles have lawyered up, and they are attempting to leave the ACC via breaking the Grant of Rights agreement. Yesterday afternoon the Seminoles’ Board of Trustees met and the end result was a lawsuit against the ACC in which claims that the Grant of Rights is “unenforceable.”

Collins: "I believe this board has been left no choice but to challenge the ACC's grant of rights and its severe withdraw penalties. ... I believe we've exhausted all possible remedies within the conference and we have to do what's best in the short and longterm.
