The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has agreed to turn over the details of media rights contracts involving Florida State University (FSU) and other schools as a result of a state Public Records Act lawsuit filed by Florida’s attorney general.

Attorney General Ashley Moody announced on July 17 that the ACC would voluntarily produce the documents in question. These records are at the center of dueling lawsuits in Florida and North Carolina that were filed after FSU sought permission to leave the conference without having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.

“The ACC capitulation follows legal action from Attorney General Moody demanding the conference make the contracts public in accordance with Florida’s Public Records Act,” the Attorney General’s Office said in a news release.
