Crist, Jr., the Attorney General of the State of Florida, respectfully submits this memorandum in support of the Motions to Dismiss filed by Defendants the University of Miami and the Atlantic Coast Conference. I. Introduction: The Freedom To Contract Is A Public Good. Vigorous competition underlies much of what we value as a society, forming the foundation of our economic and political system. It is a principle the parties to this action are intimately familiar with - they compete in lecture halls and laboratories, on their playing fields, to recruit new students and faculty members, to establish alumni bragging rights, and for public and private funds. Underlying competition are the freedoms to contract and to freely associate, and fundamental to those freedoms are the abilities to both join and leave the voluntary relationships so created. These principles inure to the benefit of us all, helping to create a dynamic society whose members are motivated to strive for the best, and the Attorney General of Florida has intervened in support of the jurisdictional motions to dismiss because of his concern that Plaintiffs’ action could cause long-term harm to these principles.
