The Associated Press and other Florida news organizations sued the NCAA and Florida State University on Monday, charging they schemed to violate open government laws by not making correspondence public about an academic cheating scandal at the school.

"This action concerns a scheme created to avoid public access," the 21-page lawsuit said. "The scheme developed by the NCAA and aided by FSU and its counsel is particularly insidious to Florida's constitutional and statuory guarantee of access to public records."

The dispute is over a response the NCAA gave Florida State on its appeal of sanctions resulting from an academic cheating scandal. The school would be stripped of wins in 10 sports, including football. That would seriously hurt Bobby Bowden's bid to become college football's all-time winningest coach.

I can understand why the media is suing FSU to release information regarding the outcome from the NCCA. But I think this will only future the process of getting that exact information.

Okay this is so stupid.

I agree with you RJ even if I don't like FSU.

its not stupid, to get information is the media job, so the media decided to sue instead to get the information that FSU is hiding.
