ACC wants to remove Florida State from conference business
All eyes from the ACC are on the legal actions between the league and Florida State. In one communication to the court, the ACC requested to remove FSU from conference affairs.
The ACC’s amended complaint filed today in the suit against FSU is a lot of the same in the original complaint. However, in a noteworthy item, it requests the court prevent FSU officials from participating/voting in ACC affairs while the suit is pending. pic.twitter.com/JmXubc3Uik

If this is granted by the court, it would mean FSU could not participate in any votes regarding league business, including if they had any more discussions about expanding the league.
