[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1008788, member: 2426"] Once again, I'm not a lawyer and don't frequently participate in lawsuits. However, I don't think court ordered mediation is an abnormal thing. Courts in general don't want to have to use court time to deal with private matters. There is heavy pressure put on parties to settle whatever dispute they have before going to trial. I think judges only want to go to trial if there is no other way to settle the dispute. In this case, they haven't even finished the preliminary things yet. It isn't going to trial for quite some time yet. The judge ordered the parties to enter mediation within 120 days. Once they begin mediation, it might take some time to declare that mediation can't resolve the issue. Also, one big thing to keep in mind: The deadline to announce departure from the ACC for 2025 is mid August. The deadline to [B]begin[/B] mediation is August 20, which is after that deadline. The ACC doesn't even have to sit down at the mediator's table until after the deadline. That means that if FSU wants to be in another conference for the 2025 season, they will have to make the announcement [B]before [/B]there is any resolution in this case. That means that they won't have a negotiated settlement before announcing, and would have to fight over damage claims that have already occurred instead of the current argument about potential damage claims. Maybe [USER=1238]@LawTalkin Jacket[/USER] can let me know for sure, but it appears to me that this is all boring pre-trial procedural stuff that doesn't really mean very much. They haven't started arguing the merits of the case. I think fan forums, especially FSU fan boy posters, will try to read tea leaves and make bold predictions that one side or another is guaranteed to win because of this ruling. Maybe one side or the other gains a small advantage at this point in the trial, but there has not been any kind of Perry Mason moment. I think this is all stuff that lawyers see all the time, and it doesn't really have any real impact on the case as a whole. [/QUOTE]
