The 2013 and 2016 ACC Grant of Rights have been publicly available for some time. In the ACC’s lawsuit, they attached fully executed copies of these documents as exhibits 2 and 7. I’ll provide links in the comments.

The document(s) that the ACC will only allow the schools to view in North Carolina under guard and with prior permission are the ACC’s agreements with ESPN.

ACC member schools have to obtain permission to view the ESPN agreements, they have to travel to North Carolina to see them, they are not allowed to copy them, take pictures of them, or to take handwritten notes of the verbatim language of them.

The ACC filed a motion in their lawsuit against FSU to keep the ESPN agreement sealed and not available to the public, arguing that it was a trade secret.
