The Atlantic Coast Conference asked a Florida judge on Friday to press pause on a lawsuit Florida State filed which claims the conference is breaching its contract until a similar case concludes in North Carolina.

The ACC and Florida State sued each other in late December to resolve a dispute over what the university would have to pay if it opts to leave the conference. Lawyers for the Seminoles estimate the school would have to pay $527 million to withdraw from the league and regain control over of its media rights, severing a contract that isn't scheduled to expire until 2036.
