FSU vs. ACC: The Origin Story -- Warchant TV
As the battle between Florida State and its athletic conference continues in courtrooms across two states, Warchant senior staff convened to discuss how it all got to this point. FSU locked horns with the ACC long before the university voted to proceed with a lawsuit in December of 2023; high-level tensions go back almost 15 years.
Drawing on their experience covering the formative events in this saga, Warchant founder and administrator Gene Williams, managing editor Ira Schoffel and host Jeff Cameron discuss the origins of Florida State’s current predicament and provide backstory from inside the university and across the sport.
In the video above, the trio discuss how a pairing of ACC desperation and decisions from FSU leadership combined to lock Seminole Athletics into one of the industry’s first grant of media rights contracts.
