Portapotty girl UPDATE:

Rec'd about 10 minutes ago. Confirms much of the same info tweeted by Billy Liucci.

"Big XII conference call just ended. 3 teams suing Texas A&M and per SEC statement, SEC will not accept A&M until litigation/contractual hinderances are removed. Suits will not be cleared in time for SEC acceptance deadline so they would not be approved to exit the Big XII, like Beebe said in his follow up letter to Slive..."

HERE"S THE GREAT PART:

At some point, it was brought up that 'so, A&M won't be able to play in the SEC next season at all then, I guess.' Beebe chimed in (basically), 'Well they won't be playing here either.'"

So, the litigation threat wasn't necessarily directed at the SEC, but just issues over A&M's departure, like you would normally have, to negotiate an exit settlement. I tend to believe this, since the SEC statement read:

Dr. Bernie Machen: "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 We were notified yesterday afternoon that at least one Big 12 institution had withdrawn its previous consent and was considering legal action.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."

SO, WHAT'S FUNNY TO ME, IS THAT THE DEADLINE FOR ALLOWING DEPARTURE GIVEN BY BEEBE GUARANTEED THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. There would be no way to negotiate the exit penalties, etc in that short timeframe, especially since aggy is broke as eff. I guess from a negotiation standpoint, Beebe could have done this to disallow aggy time to squabble over mere dollars, since time is of the essence.

I eagerly await the filing and serving of Plaintiff's petitions on agroid.

It sucks, but I almost guarantee that guy means "won't sign waiver" when he says "joining in legal actions against A&M"

It's pretty much the same thing, though.  At least according to the SEC.  SEC won't accept A&M if a threat of litigation exists.  As long as the waivers remain unsigned, the threat of litigation exists.  

Maybe the SEC isn't willing to call our bluff.  Maybe A&M isn't that valuable.

Awesome, so aggy withdraws, Texas and OU are like, "we're keeping the league together". Everyone is happy, signs a waiver. Then, to eff with aTm, UT has OU float the "we're unhappy" line, knowing Baylor (and ISU and KU and KSU) would freak out, nullifying the waiver. So unbelievably hilarious if true.
