Leon County second circuit judge John Cooper denied the ACC’s motion to stay, delivering an opinion Tuesday afternoon that he feels the filing in North Carolina is a form of “forum shopping.”
Cooper heard legal arguments from legal teams representing FSU and the ACC beginning at 9:40 a.m. before making his comments and decision after 4 p.m.
“I'm not saying Florida State is right, I’m not saying Florida State has the better argument on the merits,” Cooper said. “I'm just saying the motion to stay should be denied.”
