ESPN can potentially end the ACC football deal sooner than 2036, something Florida State would very much like to do.
ESPN appears to have an option to end the ACC’s media rights deal in 2027, according to a document released by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.
That remains a central date in Florida State’s ongoing challenge of the ACC’s grant of rights agreement, the deal that gives leagues the right to broadcast member schools’ football games for the duration of the media rights deal. ESPN has the “exclusive, revocable option,” the document states, “but not the obligation, to extend this Agreement until subject to the remainder of this paragraph by providing written notice to the Conference no later than two years after the launch date of the ACC-ESPN Network.”
