Sure hope this is true and not just a rumor.

Rumor has it they wanted the Big 10 but the Big 10 told them to fuck off.  That would be awesome but probably just a rumor.  Super secret Big 10 sources say Texas is going there if the Big 12 falls apart blah blah.

Anyway this conference shit is just shit until something happens.

A&M to the SEC is a done deal, it's all over except for Baylor's screams, and that'll start the dominoes falling.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Baylor's legitimate points you mean?  If the Big 12 falls apart Iowa State and Baylor and all the schools whose partners screwed them are going to get paid in court.  They signed a contract and had a verbal commitment.

A&M's contract was with the Big 12, not Baylor. Baylor doesn't have grounds to sue.

Bullshit.  They are going to suffer millions of dollars in damages.  It may not be A&M who gets called to the carpet but somebody will.

So Wyoming to the Big 12 isn't going to happen?   :(

Yeah, Baylor would be financially devastated by the loss of the Big XII and that nice new billion dollar TV contract.  It's not just an "Oh well!" kind of thing for them.  There is absolutely no reason for them to sign that waiver.

I can't really blame Baylor for suing; I don't know the specifics but I can only imagine that unless the Big XII granted A&M a release or whatever it would be a clear violation of A&M's contract with the Big XII to leave...and as a constituent member of the Big XII I don't know that Baylor suing is really as zany as some might think.

Now, A&M pulls a lot more weight in Texas than Baylor so I'm sure the Texas courts will rule in A&M's favor. Depending on which school the judge went to, of course.

MadBurgerMaker

So far, AFAIK, they're not actually suing anyone.  They're simply refusing to waive their right to do so.  The SEC admitted A&M on the condition that all the Big XII schools give up their right to sue, and several of them, understandably, don't want to do so.

Then they can sue ESPN for violating contract. From what I've read Baylor and the rest of the small fries can add Wyoming and four other crap teams to the Big 12 and ESPN will have to keep paying through the end of the contract (2024)

Why would ESPN have violated the Fox tier 2 TV contract?

Look what that asshole did to Notre Dame. Been in decline since he famously declared that the IRISH WILL DEMOLISH THE BUCKEYES! for the '06 Fiesta Bowl.

Ohio State won 34-20 and ND has been in the shitter since.

Tim is a fucktard.

Wow.

What a pompous douchebag you are.  Crap teams?  Small fries?  You might have noticed Baylor and Iowa State have pretty good teams.
