The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has formally filed its defenses against lawsuits from Florida State University (FSU) and Clemson University. The ACC's responses, which were shared in Tallahassee and Pickens County, argue that the claims are incorrect, untimely, and reference the Maryland precedent. The ACC has requested a jury trial in South Carolina for the Clemson case, indicating a preference for local adjudication. The dispute involves interpretations of ESPN agreements.
