CLEMSON – The Clemson Board of Trustees met and voted Tuesday to end the lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference.
What does it mean for Clemson? It’s a good thing because Clemson negotiated clarity on the two things it wanted as part of the lawsuit. An article released Monday by ESPN was clearly sourced (at least in part) by people at the ACC, and Clemson can’t look at today’s settlement the same way as Florida State. Why? Because Florida State came out talking and swinging a battering ram while announcing their intentions, Clemson’s stated intentions of the lawsuit – and the school flew under the radar for most of this – was to figure out the league’s Grant of Rights and exit fees and figure out (legally) what rights the school had (or, would take with it should it, or any school, leave the conference).
