FIFY.

The ideal situation for both Fox and ESPN is for the FL judge to say that the case has to be decided in NC and for the NC judge to throw the case out just on the pretrial documents, depositions, etc., saying that FSU hasn't proved its case and GoRs are perfectly legit.

Why do I say they want GoRs upheld?  Because if GoRs are killed that affects their properties, the SEC and B1G, as well.  "Nobody wants to leave the SEC and B1G because of all the money they get from the TV contract" until they're offered more to join a conference of just bluebloods.  Saban is already on record as not wanting to subsidize Vanderbilt anymore.  The votes aren't there to expel Vanderbilt, but if there's nothing keeping Bama in the SEC when this bluebloods-only conference is proposed, well ...  ESPN and Fox don't want to get into a bidding war with themselves.  As people have noted here, the revenue stream in the future may not be large enough to pay the same amount that is paid now.  Much as this bluebloods-only conference intrigues them, neither wants to pay way more in the future for it than they pay now, especially when the revenue streams are a huge question mark.
