Florida State University's lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) will proceed during the conference's ongoing appeal, a Leon County, Florida circuit judge ruled on Friday. Judge Cooper denied the ACC's motion to pause FSU's lawsuit against the league pending review from the Florida First District Court of Appeal. FSU's counsel indicated that the university would likely take its dispute with the ACC all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, particularly concerning sovereign immunity as it relates to the ACC's suit against FSU in North Carolina. The argument from FSU's counsel emphasized the importance of having the lawsuit proceed, stating that "having uncertainty and having no answers is not helpful."

The most interesting part of today's FSU-ACC legal hearing, to me? The argument from Florida State's counsel on why it's important that SOME lawsuit proceeds. “Having uncertainty and having no answers is not helpful…” Also, the U.S. Supreme Court thing. https://t.co/J09L0zocSx
Another exciting lawyerball development, from which to a) claim total victory b) await dull due process but mostly c) yearn for football to be free of those who seek to wrap the game in a legal cage without caring how bad a look all this bollocks is. https://t.co/bo11Dv8ZW5
