00:00 >> A little over a week ago, the announcement was made that Florida State is suing the ACC,
00:05 challenging the grant of rights, which right now extends through 2036.
00:09 What can you tell us about the conference's response to the lawsuit?
00:11 >> Well, it's a legal case now, and I stand by every word that myself and President Jim
00:16 Ryan at Virginia, who's the chair of the ACC board, indicated.
00:21 We're incredibly disappointed.
00:23 And we feel very strongly about a document that was signed by one of our members, willingly
00:29 signed by one of our members back in '13 and in '16, and we're ready to fight.
00:34 And we will go through this in a reasonable way, but we will protect the ACC.
00:40 This is a conference that's been around for 70 years.
00:43 That's done a lot of good work for a lot of good schools and a lot of good student athletes,
00:47 and we won't be at all wavering in that position.
00:51 So we'll let the legal system take its course, and we'll walk through it together, and we'll
00:57 we'll get to a finish line wherever that is.
