Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4981230, member: 833"] I agree that there is a lot of weird stuff about this case. I will caveat “everyone settles” with that has not typically happened unless or until it is clear one side is probably going to lose. The first Big East lawsuit in 2003 was settled once the other BCS conferences realized that losing an anti-trust lawsuit would be a lot more expensive than giving the Big East BCS status. Subsequent litigation have followed that path, save for the Alston case, which the NCAA stupidly decided to fight all the way to the Supreme Court, where it got its ass kicked badly. There is no settlement path that I see with this FSU case. Either the ACC lets a couple of its bell cows leave, or it doesn't. I don't know how anyone turns that situation into a compromise. [/QUOTE]
