The SEC should let Baylor in. Get more than one of those baptists around each other and they won't try to mooch your bourbon.

Oh, it will most definitely be mooched! BaylorBoldly mooched.

One would hope, but there was a pretty legendary thread on Texags of a BU co-ed stealing beer out of an Aggie tailgater's truck. Actual pictures and everything. Hilarious.

I would love to read that! Link please?

Baylor is standing up for itself and for the integrity of college athletics

You've got to be kidding? Integrity...? It's about being the last smuck left on the sinking ship without a lifepreserver. This has nothing to do with what is right or wrong, it has to do with self-preservation and survival.

I haven't been able to find the Texags thread, but google:

and you'll get a lot of hits. The story was actually first posted on baylorfans.com. The girl's lawyer threatened to sue them, and they took it down. Too late though, it was all over the internet by that point.

Baylor trying to push Colorado out of Pac-10 expansion

---

In emails acquired by The Dallas Morning News on Sunday, Austin lobbyist and Baylor regent Buddy Jones urged supporters in the legislature to help Baylor.

"We need to stop any bleeding that this PAC 10 offer might have caused for Baylor quickly," Jones wrote. "It is imperative that whatever happens the four Texas schools (and hopefully OU and OSU) agree to stick together."
Jones added, "My guess is that Colorado hasn't taken enough broadside hits to sink their boat yet and they may well be on the invite list. I hope I'm wrong. But there's still time left to change the scoreboard. We aren't through."

Pac-10 Expansion: Baylor Emails Released; Mountain West Eyes Colorado

LINK

quote:

---

The Dallas Morning News reported Monday that it has obtained a series of emails recently exchanged between Baylor regent and lobbyist Buddy Jones (perfect name for a Texas "politicker," if you ask me) and school alumni and supporters within the state's legislature.
The rallying cry: We must uphold the unification of the four Texas schools. Even if that means skinning the life out of the Buffalo in the room, which, by the way, cannot and will not stand in our way of receiving an invigorating Pac-10 payday.

Here is the first of Jones' emails, in which he describes Baylor's academics and athletic facilities as being "superior" to those of Colorado:

From: Buddy Jones

Date: June 4, 2010 10:49:12 AM CDT

To: ADDRESSES REDACTED

Subject: Baylor Alert

To: Baylor grads in the 81st Legislature:

I have a critical issue that directly affects Baylor and it is very time sensitive. The Big XII and PAC 10 are both meeting separately today. According to a recent newspaper report, the PAC 10 may well issue an invite to all the Big XII South schools to join the PAC 10 – WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BAYLOR. In our stead, the PAC 10 is rumored to substitute Colorado. In this scenario, Baylor gets left out and this would be a major, major setback for our University. Perhaps a setback of immense proportion. The mere rumor of Baylor being left behind is harmful.
We cannot let the other schools in Texas (A&M, U.T., Tech) leave the Big XII WITHOUT BAYLOR BEING INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE. Long and short – if U.T., A&M and Tech demand that any move to any other conference include ALL TEXAS BASED TEAMS from the Big XII, we are golden. We need to be in a PACKAGE DEAL!
