It seems that after the conference call Baylor is not the only school looking into litigation. Apparently Oklahoma is weighing out its options as to litigation.

Posted this on another thread but yes, from Joe Schad's twitter:

Person close to A&M describes Baylor as "ringleader" and states school's belief it's being "held hostage"

Any time there seem to be silent forces at work, and a school like Baylor is being cast as the "ringleader", there's usually only one answer as to who is behind it. And that answer is not OU.

If this is true (and I'll believe it when I see it) then OU is a bigger hypocrite than Baylor.

At least Baylor knew (and knows) that outside the Big 12-2 it has NO SHOT at being in an AQ conference. So throwing everything on the wall and hoping something sticks is their only chance at survival.

OU, meanwhile, has a brand that is desirable in other conferences. And they were actively looking at the superPAC with OSU, and maybe also with Texas and Tech.

There is a legal doctrine known as the "clean hands" doctrine. Basically it says that if you try to sue, and your actions are just as liable for the mess, the case gets tossed out. An example would be me trying to sue someone for my share of the proceeds from the sale of a stolen car. OU faces this problem if they sue A&M, since they are just as responsible for the current instability of the Big 12-2 (and most likely more so).

Apparently the word that the Pac 12 doesn't want to expand is true.

Hey, they can still join the SEC if they find a way to ditch Okie State. They're a better fit than Mizzou or West Virginia.
