Overview

  • FSU President says school may exit ACC unless conference changes revenue model
  • FSU believes current model puts them at financial disadvantage compared to other schools
  • President has explored options for a year but sees no fix without radical change
  • Exit would require $120M fee and challenging grant of rights, but FSU sees status quo as unsustainable
  • Timing of potential FSU exit from ACC not decided but unlikely before 2036
