Clemson University and Florida State University have filed a lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) seeking increased television revenue. The legal action comes as the two programs prepare for their Week 9 matchup, which will once again be broadcast on the ACC Network.
The dispute centers on the conference's media rights distribution, with both schools arguing they deserve a larger share of television proceeds. The ACC Network, launched in 2019, serves as the conference's primary broadcast platform.
The Week 9 game between the Tigers and Seminoles remains scheduled for the conference's owned network, highlighting the ongoing tension between member institutions and conference leadership over revenue allocation.
