Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody considering action in FSU's ongoing
lawsuit with the ACC. by Liam Rooney / Tallahassee Democrat. Published April 23, 2024
“In her letter to the six Attorney Generals, Moody said that the next step for the state of Florida would be to take action in FSU's case with the ACC in North Carolina, with her primary concern centered around sovereign immunity, which protects states and state entities from legal action. Moody wrote the North Carolina judge ruled that FSU waived its sovereign immunity against being sued due to its membership with the ACC, who is a private entity in North Carolina.
She addressed the six other states in her letter and warned them that they could experience something similar in the future, encouraging the Attorney Generals to reach out to their member schools and discuss it. Moody also looked for support from the other states in Florida's efforts to support FSU in the lawsuit. The full letter, published by Warchant.com and the Tampa Bay Times, reads.”
