The legal battle between Clemson University and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) continued today at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte. The case management conference focused on Clemson's motions to dismiss and stay the lawsuit filed by the ACC. Clemson Athletic Director Graham Neff and trustee David Dukes were present. Clemson argued that the ACC misconstrued South Carolina law and that Clemson cannot be sued outside its state without consent, invoking sovereign immunity. Judge Bledsoe appeared skeptical of Clemson's argument but committed to ruling on the motions before July 12. This date is significant as it coincides with another hearing scheduled in Pickens County, South Carolina, for the original lawsuit. ACC lawyers highlighted a picture of Clemson President Jim Clements shaking hands with former ACC Commissioner John Swofford, emphasizing Clemson's previous agreements with the ACC. Additionally, Clemson refused a request by the ACC and ESPN to move its home game against South Carolina to the Friday night after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday.
