If Red Hat and/or IBM bought out SCO, a lot of people would interpret that as an admission that they couldn't beat SCO in the courtroom. A decisive victory in court, on the other hand, would make it harder to spread FUD about Linux IP "infringements", and discourage other companies with dubious claims to imitate SCO's tactics. And once SCO loses, the company will be a lot cheaper.
