Is K-State at the minimum for number of sports programs to be considered DI? (I think so...)
We will need to add lacrosse and field hockey to compete in Big East.
GET YOUR WICKETS READY!!!
I still have my Huggieville and Hugginista! shirts.
This would be horrible for us. This conference either needs to blow up this year and we go BE or it needs to stick around for a long time. Otherwise we are completely screwed because in the meantime, the BE will find other football schools and we won't have anywhere to go at that point.That is laying the groundwork for a defense of any lawsuit Baylor may file, they aren't holding up crap.
I got it. Still will not be that simple but I can see the work around. But as with any court hearing all it takes is the right (or left) judge to gum up the works for several years.
Is it possible Baylor has a place to land and thus the SEC is not worried about a lawsuit coming from them? or the other schools that could be Left Behind? All this does is delay this crap till after the Final 4 IMO
no
So A&M is going to be forced to stay because of the Kids (Baylor), Sweet.
No, please shut up.
So, A&M leaves, Baylor does not Sue, signs wavier and dies on the Mid-Major vine?
Baylor may or may not sue but they aren't holding up crap by doing so. June 30, 2012 will be aTm's last day in the conference.
However A&M would have to go Indy for 2012 season in order for SEC to avoid litigation from Big 12 conference/Baylor?
I guess? but is A&M not in the red as far as there Athletic Department? Could they afford a year with out TV revenues?
After receiving unanimous written assurance from the Big 12 on September 2 that the Southeastern Conference was free to accept Texas A&M to join as a new member, the presidents and chancellors of the SEC met last night with the intention of accepting the application of Texas A&M to be the newest member of the SEC.
We were notified yesterday afternoon that at least one Big 12 institution had withdrawn its previous consent and was considering legal action.
The SEC has stated that to consider an institution for membership, there must be no contractual hindrances to its departure. The SEC voted unanimously to accept Texas A&M University as a member upon receiving acceptable reconfirmation that the Big 12 and its members have reaffirmed the letter dated September 2, 2011.

Why should Baylor be the only ones bringing in the legal teams? Would love to see other Big 12 members get involved. Would like to see this limit the aggressiveness of expansion from big 10, PAC 12, and SEC.
If/when we go to the Big East, we are going to go through this bullshit again.

But that assumes the SEC didn't throw this contingency out there to save face because they don't like subsequent expansion candidates.
That is ridiculous
A&M plus VT equals win.
A&M plus Mizzou or WVU equals fail.
If this is true, knowing Baylor, there is no way you'll get everyone to sign that waiver. No way. Why put that contingency out there? If you think you will win, just admit them and deal with the legal stuff later.

Wish I understood why Beebe is waiving the conference's right to sue.
It would just hold up the inevitable. Nobody else is going anywhere while that crap is going on.
This may be true, but at least we would get some money out of the deal.

I just can't see ND joining the big 10. I could see Texas and Notre Dame forming their own new conference that plucks teams from the big 10, though.
Something like:
Texas
Notre Dame
Pitt
Ohio State
Michigan
USC
UCLA
OU
TX board suggesting UT, MU, Pitt and ND to Big 10
I don't think the Big 10 wants Pitt. Why wouldn't they just add UT and ND?
