What is the ACC's end game in their legal battles with FSU? ACC players to watch in transfer portal

Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

What is the end game for the ACC in their legal battles against Florida State University? Should the conference consider settling sooner than later? In reality, the ACC needs to fight to protect their grant of rights for as long as possible because if that crumbles, an FSU exit could set a precedent for others to follow. Then, the conference would be in a terrible position for the renewal of their TV deal with ESPN. And even if the ACC sees settlement with FSU as an inevitability, they’d much rather settle from a position of strength.

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break down the significance of Florida’s State’s Tuesday win in court against the ACC. The Leon County, FL judge felt the ACC rushed to file first in North Carolina as a method of “forum shopping.” Donno and Gibbs take a look at what could be a crazy NCAA transfer portal window next week. The NCAA is no longer able to enforce transfer restrictions, meaning players are essentially free to jump from school to school as much as they like. What are the biggest needs for the top teams in the ACC, and which players can the conference not afford to lose?
