[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 994368, member: 2426"] I don't see it as a request to "neuter" FSU. They are asking for FSU to be barred from participating in management of the conference [B]while [/B]they have a direct conflict of interest in court with the management of the conference. It is an entirely reasonable request. They don't want FSU administration and legal teams on one side of the court and FSU administration and legal teams as part of the team on the other side of the court. FSU wants to sue the ACC, then make it FSU against the rest of the ACC instead of FSU against the ACC (with FSU sabotaging inside the ACC) I think a larger question than whether this is standard legal procedure or a drunken brawl is: What is FSU trying to accomplish? They want to join another conference? IF they get what they want and are able to leave the ACC with their media rights, who will take them? Will the SEC or Big10 invite a school who has demonstrated that as soon as they don't get what they want they spout confidential information and throw a tantrum like a toddler? Will a broadcaster sign a contract with them as an independent, like ND, if they know that as soon as FSU isn't happy about something and wants to negotiate again they will trash the broadcaster and release confidential information? As much as their fans like to see them sticking the middle finger to the ACC, I can't see a positive outcome for FSU no matter what happens in the court case. [/QUOTE]
