Clemson University is preparing for a prolonged and costly legal battle against the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Documents filed with the South Carolina Attorney General's Office reveal that Clemson could spend nearly $1.5 million in attorney fees through June 2025. The university has allocated an additional $975,000 in legal fees, with all funding sourced from athletics-generated revenue and private donations. The legal dispute centers around media contracts between the ACC and ESPN, which have been obtained by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody. These contracts, described as 'secretive,' are at the core of lawsuits filed by both Florida State and Clemson against the ACC. The ACC has delivered over 200 pages of records, including agreements with ESPN, although many sections have been redacted due to claims of trade secrets.
