They didn't have an interest to sue when Neb and Col left so what basis do they have now?
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.

Only damages Baylor is entitled to is their share of $ A&M is required to pay as penalty for withdrawal under the conference agreement.
