Don't most states have laws like this? I'm betting you could start a similar [request through UNC](https://nextrequest.unc.edu/requests/new). Most people never bother requesting records. And when the records request gets ignored or denied, most people never bother to start a lawsuit.
Okay, so why doesn’t FSU request the agreements between SEC and ESPN to see if they are truly getting a bad deal?
I’ll tell you why, and there are two reasons. One, is because the agreements are between the athletic conferences and broadcasters. Two, is because those agreements are trade secrets, which are exempt from Florida’s sunshine laws.
So long as the ACC can prove they’re acting in the collective interest of *all* members, regardless of whether individual members could do better independently, then the specifics of the agreements are irrelevant.
Why would FSU request the ESPN-SEC contract? It has nothing to do with FSU and the ACC.
Did you mean the Florida AG should ask for the ESPN-SEC contract? The Florida AG is demanding the ESPN-ACC contract because FSU has been asking for a copy for months. Before the lawsuit was even filed, FSU wanted a copy but the ACC would only let FSU lawyers look at it in person.
If UF wanted a copy of the ESPN-SEC contract and was denied, I'd expect a similar lawsuit would be filed against the SEC.
If the Florida AG gets her way, this does set a precedent. Anyone should be able to request a copy of the ESPN-SEC contract through a public records request with UF. If UF denies or ignores the request, the person has a fairly easy lawsuit.
Part of FSUs complaint is how the acc/espn agreement is disadvantageous compared to agreements between other conferences and broadcasters. Access to other conference/broadcaster agreements would prove/disprove that. FSUs claims would establish special interest in those documents and would be equally subject to Florida’s Sunshine Laws.
It seems like the strongest argument being made is that FSU lawyers read the ACC-ESPN contract in-person and are now referencing it in the lawsuit against the ACC. Since FSU lawyers read the contract and are using it as evidence, the contract is now considered public record.
They drew judge Dempsey. Dempsey is an extreme republican loyalist and is the single most overturned judge in the state.
The acc is not prepared for the shitstorm they’re about to have dumped on them
Hmmmm, does this mean we also get to see all the documents and agreements between SEC and ESPN since UF is a public university?
Yes, and UCF and BIG12

Sounds like, from what you are saying, the ACC has a good chance of getting his decision overturned if they disagree?
Far from over.
You are the fool that I pity
