Can I get a recap on what has happened in the last two days

quote:

---

A&M leaves B12

SEC says you can join but only if we don't get sued

B12 sends SEC letter saying it or any member institutions will not sue SEC or A&M

SEC votes A&M in

Baylor waits till just before the announcement before threatening a lawsuit

SEC pumps the brakes until it gets worked out

fricking baylor.

I have no problem answering because of your avatar.


What has happened is that A&M had the big12 (i.e. Dan Beebe) sign a waiver which states the big12 and its member institutions will not pursue any litigation towards the SEC in regards to A&M pursuing membership.

Baylor has reversed their position and is saying they reserve their right to pursue litigation. The SEC has voted unanimously to allow A&M member ship on the condition that all big12 conference member sign this waiver.

The problem is, Baylor thought the big12 would survive when they agreed to the waiver on 9/2. since then, OU has stated they were uncertain they would remain a conference member, which threatens the very existence of the big12. Now Baylor is trying to block the SEC.

The problem is, A&M has already stated they ARE leaving the conference effective 6/30/12. Nothing they can do legally to prevent that. So, Baylor is acting in pure spite to try to make things difficult to allow us into the SEC.

The other problem is, Baylor's threat of litigation has ZERO merit. None. BUT, the SEC doesn't want to be dragged into any type of court proceedings whether the the potential lawsuit has any merit.

Personally, I think A&M should call BU's bluff. Tell the SEC that A&M will cover any and all court costs for the SEC and let Baylor try to win in court. It will fail for them and will easily be dismissed.

At this point, I dont know whats going to happen. A&M WILL NOT be in the big12 next year regardless of what happens.

Here is a nice article you should read...
