Florida AG says public will ‘get to see what the ACC is hiding

with ESPN contract release. By Andrew Bucholtz “The release indicates that the ACC will produce the 2010 ACC Multi-Media Agreement, the 2012 Amendment and Extension Agreement, the 2014 Second Amendment to Multi-Media Agreement, the 2016 Amended and Restated ACC-ESPN Multi-Media Agreement, the 2016 ACC-ESPN Network Agreement, and the 2021 Letter Amendment to Amended and Restated Multi-Media Agreement by August 1, and will make those documents available as per the Florida Public Records Act. But, as Chris Vannini notes at The Athletic, there still likely will be redactions here. Perhaps even more interesting, though, was a Florida AG spokesperson’s response to his question on if they’ll follow this up by seeking other conferences’ TV deals: It’s unclear how much sensitive information will be redacted from a public release of the ACC contracts. It’s also theoretically possible this could open the door for the TV contracts of other conferences that include public Florida universities, like the SEC and Big 12, to be made public. When asked whether it would take the same step with other conferences, the attorney general’s office told The Athletic, “Our case pertains to the ACC.”

I still don't see how the media deal is a big deal to what FSU/Clemson want

Yeah, I bet there will be a lot of redactions.**

I wonder if ESPN is going to step in and stop this madness. **

When/if they can manipulate everything to their advantage.

A misconception is that FSU and Clemson are ESPN properties. They

2036 goes away only when the ACC settles or it becomes 2036**

What exactly is this “dirty laundry?”

My guess is a nothingburger with a lot of redactions around boring legalese**
