Baylor blocking aTm to SEC
I just heard on KC news at noon that Baylor is blocking Texas A&M from going to the SEC. The SEC accepted aTm with the condition that every team in the Big12 voted to allow aTm to leave. Previously each member OK'ed it but now Baylor is threatening to bring a law suit on aTm. That conference sucks!!

Re: Baylor blocking aTm to SEC
The conference presidents are having a conference call this afternoon to clarify things. If Ken Starr is okay with what he hears from the rest of the presidents, he will back off and let A&M go; if he doesn't like what he hears, he will review his options.

Re: Baylor blocking aTm to SEC
Yes there is a 9/2 letter circulating today that is from Dan Bebee saying every B12 member had agreed to waive their rights to sue...probably posturing more than anything else

Re: Baylor blocking aTm to SEC
If I'm Baylor or Iowa State I wouldn't agree not to sue unless I got assurances from Texas, Oklahoma, etc. that they also weren't gonna bolt.

No they aren't. Do you have a source? They have the right to, but so do schools like TTU and OU.

No actually they aren't. They just aren't waiving their rights. Different than threatening a lawsuit

Exactly. I love how some posters on here use ISU doing what's best for them financially and as an institution, as another excuse to just childishly bash on them. Any university in their situation that would agree not to sue would be just plain stupid. Some of you need to grow up.

It's an online message board and it's rivalry week. I didn't know people were supposed to be rational and courteous towards ISU...

Hopefully Jamie will hire some good lawyers, like the kind who went to Iowa.

I'm talking about the over-the-top stuff. Some of it is just stupid.

If the roles were reversed they would be chizzing in their pants over the whole situation and we would have trolls on here like no other. It's a rivalry. People are going to make fun of their situation. Try not to take it to heart.
