Sept 2nd Waiver was ONLY for BIG 12

The SEC was under the assumption that the letter from Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe applied to both the Big 12 Conference and its member schools. But Beebe notified Slive on Tuesday that only the conference was bound by the letter.

So in summary any big 12 school member can sue...just not the conference as a whole.
STILL NO EVIDENCE BU WON'T SIGN THE NEW ONE.
And Texas A&M is STILL the only welcher...stay tuned...presser at 2.

acceptable reconfirmation that the Big 12 and its members have reaffirmed the letter dated September 2, 2011.
And here is that letter...
Dear Mike:
This is to confirm our discussion yesterday during which I informed you that the Big 12
Conference Board of Directors unanimously authorized me to convey to you and their colleagues in the Southeastern Conference that the Big 12 and its members will not take any legal action for any possible claims against the SEC or its members relating to the departure of Texas A&M University from the Big 12 and the admission of Texas A&M into the SEC; provided, however, that such act by the SEC to admit Texas A&M is publicly confirmed by 5:00 p.m. (CDT) on September 8, 2011.
Such admission of Texas A&M will result in the withdrawal of Texas A&M from the Big 12 Conference effective June 30, 2012. We both agreed it is in the best interests of each of our conferences and our member institutions of higher education to waive any and all legal actions by either conference and its members resulting from admission of Texas A&M into the SEC, as long as such admission is confirmed publicly by September 8, 2011.
If any of your presidents and chancellors have concerns about this commitment of the Big 12 Conference, they may contact me or Brady Deaton, Big 12 Board of Director chairman and chancellor of the University of Missouri, Columbia.
Sincerely,
Dan Beebe
Commissioner
I wonder why they were under that assumption.

Not according to the text of the letter that was sent.

Welcher? Please.. A&M agreed to stay as part of the 12 member Big XII. Not exactly the same conference after Nebraska and CU left... something Baylor didn't feel so strongly about stopping.

From President Loftin

We are certainly pleased with the action taken last night by the presidents and chancellors of the Southeastern Conference to unanimously accept Texas A&M as the league's 13th member. However, this acceptance is conditional, and we are disappointed in the threats made by one of the Big 12 member institutions to coerce Texas A&M into staying in Big 12 Conference. These actions go against the commitment that was made by this university and the Big 12 on Sept. 2. We are working diligently to resolve any and all issues as outlined by the SEC

I agree it's probably phony. There's no way a letter of that importance has a typo as egregious as calling the "Big 12 Board of Directors" the "Big 12 Board of Director (singular)". That letter would've had hundreds of eyes on it before it was sent, and something like that would've been caught.
