Florida AG Sues ACC Over Withheld ESPN Contract, Impacting Broader TV Deal Transparency

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has initiated legal action against the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for allegedly withholding public records related to the media contract with ESPN. This lawsuit, joined by Florida State University and Clemson, challenges the ACC's refusal to disclose documents associated with a deal potentially costing Florida State over $500 million. The outcome of this legal battle could set a precedent affecting the transparency of television deals across major collegiate sports conferences, including the SEC and Big 12.
