Clemson University lawyers may soon get to study in-depth the contract between the Atlantic Coast Conference and ESPN.
Pickens County (SC) Judge Perry H. Gravely ordered the ACC to turn the contract over to Clemson within seven days on Friday morning.
Clemson University took the Atlantic Coast Conference to court over its grant of media rights and exit fees in March, with the school seeking damages from the conference over alleged false statements regarding its media rights.
The 2013 and 2016 ACC Grant of Rights have been publicly available, but the document(s) that the ACC will only allow the schools to view in North Carolina under guard and with prior permission are the ACC’s agreements with ESPN.
