Florida State and Clemson’s lawsuits against the ACC are going nowhere. The ACC, meanwhile, is taking a PR beating. It behooves them all to find a way forward.

But the facts remain the same. The ACC holds every ounce of leverage, and Clemson and FSU saying they’ll stay in the league only under their terms is the ultimate walk-back, a desperation play. Which in turn means if the ACC goes along, it’s only offering those schools the dollar-lined off-ramp they’re desperately seeking.

Yahoo's Ross Dellenger reports ACC presidents are weighing a plan to settle with Florida State and Clemson and convince the schools to stay in the conference.

A proposed ACC revenue plan could end Clemson and Florida State's lawsuits against the conference, keeping both in the conference with a pay increase.

News of the proposal first emerged through various national reports Tuesday night.

Ross Dellenger, the Senior College Football Reporter for Yahoo Sports, released a story late Tuesday that detailed how the ACC is exploring a new revenue structure that would end the litigation between Clemson and the ACC, and Florida State and the ACC.

After suing its own conference six months ago that was considered an initial step to leave, could Clemson drop its lawsuit against the ACC and end up sticking around? As of this week, that option’s on the table.
