I found Baylor's loophole.

"member institutions of higher education"

Waco High doesn't meet that standard.

The Big 12 is a marriage, we are all married to TU and we are wife no. 1.

He believed that A&M had been granted a legal waiver from the Big 12 and its schools Sept. 2. However, the new interpretation of the letter from commissioner Dan Beebe to the SEC is that it applies only to the Big 12 Conference, not to individual schools.

Here's how it probably went down:

Starr: Hey Dan, um, yeah, we're not waiving our right to take legal action against A&M or the SEC.

Beebe: But you agreed just the other-

Starr: Forget what I said. If they leave, you're out of a job and Baylor goes down the sh*tter.

Beebe: You're right, but I already sent a letter saying no one would sue.

Starr: That's easy. Just lie and say that you have no furking clue what you wrote. Blame it on your secretary for all I care. It'll work. Trust me. I'm a lawyer.

Beebe: If you say so.

It sounds like Loftin and A&M are about to lawyer up.

Without naming the school, Loftin said one Big 12 school had been trying to stop A&M's move from the beginning.

"Clearly for quite some time, one school has been specifically the one trying to both bring pressure on us politically for a while and now raising the threat of legal action," he said. "In fact even calling members of the board of the SEC directly and the commissioner of the SEC directly and speaking to them and leaving voicemails for them."

Yep, and it is a private religious institution interfering with a public institution.

Who is interfering with who here?

Did any other public institution incite the private institution into these actions?

wow, loftin sounds pissed.

Why not just exit regardless and go Independent for a year, even if SEC wont accept us? Its better then being in the BIG 12 with a bunch of cry babies.

tu. baylor is just the scape goat.

Go independent for 2012 ....

play UH, SMU, Rice, UTEP all at Kyle Field
play Arkansas at JerryWorld
see if there can be any opening in any other SEC team's schedule to allow for a game or two
play anyone not named tu, Baylor preferably at Kyle Field but a home-and-home would be okay too
