Board Chair: FSU Has 'No Choice' but to Challenge ACC Grant of Rights, Consider Exit

Florida State University may be headed to court in an attempt to exit the ACC.

Florida State trustees chair Peter Collins said the school has "no choice" but to challenge the ACC's prohibitive "grant of rights" agreement.

"Today we've reached a crossroads in our relationship with the ACC," Collins said Friday. "I believe this board has been left no choice but to challenge the legitimacy of the ACC Grant of Rights and its severe withdrawal penalties."

Pete Thamel of ESPN reported Florida State estimates it would cost around $572 million to leave the ACC.
