They didn't have an interest to sue when Neb and Col left so what basis do they have now? To me A&M/SEC could counter with why no lawsuit last year.

The SEC's best defense is that it was pursued by aTm, not the other way around. In addition it can argue that the common course of dealing in college athletics is that coaching and conference contracts are regularly broken and that this is why buyouts are included in them. The SEC can also legitimately claim that if the Big 12 collapses, it did not cause that.....Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, OU, OSU, and Tech all leaving caused that. Unclean hands is another issue facing Baylor and any other Bog 12 program. It's hard to credibly argue the SEC was in the wrong for accepting aTm when the Big 12 had already approached Arkansas before aTm was ever admitted.

Starr's only excuse is that the preacher held him underwater for too long.

Just like everything in life, it is all about $

When Neb & Col left, the same TV contracts stayed in effect so ten teams split the $ that 12 teams used to split. Baylor made more $ because of Neb & Col leaving.

The Big 12 TV contracts become void the instant league membership drops below 10 teams so Baylor takes a serious hammer when A&M leaves.

Slive is a smart man and an attorney. You think he put the condition on A&M and is asking for the waivers for absolutely no reason?

A&M has sovereign immunity


Baylor never threatened A&M with a lawsuit. It threatened the SEC and Slive personally.......

A&m should go independent for 1 week, then get picked up by the SEC, this should prevent Legal action vs SEC.


Yeah......Baylor's lawyers would never pick up on that. Jesus Christ........

Can they sue on the grounds of being butthurt? I mean, you can file suit for practically anything nowadays.
