found this, CG:.....Baylor, Iowa State and Kansas have publicly said they will not relinquish the right to sue the SEC or Texas A&M. Kansas State hasn't commented publicly, but the Wildcats are likely to follow Kansas' steps. Missouri remains neutral, especially since university president Brady Deaton is the chair of the Big 12 board of directors.
There is a reason schools like Iowa State, Kansas State and Missouri are holding their ground in the A&M/SEC affair -- or at the very least approaching it with trepidation. The television deal that the Big 12 signed with Fox Sports Media Group for an estimated $90 million over a 13-year period beginning in 2012 allowed schools to begin major on-campus projects. The Big 12 still had three years remaining on a deal with ESPN/ABC, too.
Iowa State went ahead with projects after the Fox contract was completed and took out $40 million in bonds based on the deal. Iowa State has invested $5 million in a new video board, $20 million in a football building and an estimated $15 million in a sports complex for track, soccer and softball. The video board project began in July for this football season and the other two projects are under construction.
"The taxpayers of Iowa can't pay if those bonds fall through," a source said Wednesday. "These are real questions, real situations. I'm not sure how (Iowa State) could waive those (legal) rights (to sue the SEC)."
"If four leave, say, and then there are five left, the five can stay together to retain the Big 12 money, retain the automatic berth to the BCS and the automatic berth in the NCAA tournament for a two-year period.

the SEC is going to have to make a choice here in the next 6 months or so. Either they go ahead and accept A&M with potential lawsuits looming or they say "sorry, no can do."
If they tell A&M "no", can A&M go independent for a while?
If they did, and UT didn't, the greatness of that situation would be too much to handle.

From what I've read the SEC is already working out 2012 schedules with A&M on them and that if A&M went independent for a year they'd be an independent playing a bunch of SEC teams. I don't think it's going to come to that though. They'll end up taking A&M without the waivers, but there's no reason that they have to commit to that now. So like everyone else, they're just going to sit back and wait for OU and then see what happens from there.
Something else to consider, the big 12 can disband itself with 8 votes. A&M plus a four team PAC move gets you to 5. If those 5 teams can help Mizzou and the Kansii find homes in AQ conferences, they can just disband the conference and everyone gets to walk away without paying any exit fees to anyone.
lol probably can't
A tech grad running intelligence smack. That's precious.
We'll be in the SEC next season, no doubt about it.
That seems to be the likely scenario at this point.
I wonder if Baylor, Iowa St et anyone else would go ahead and sue.
The 4 team Pac move would be the key there.Something else to consider, the big 12 can disband itself with 8 votes. A&M plus a four team PAC move gets you to 5.

I'm getting less confident by the day though in a UT move to the Pac 12.
Of course, that could all change in a moment's notice.

Your stupidity is evident in the daily mental bukkake you take on in this forum.
You being an Aggie is just a coincidence.
Me too.
I think so too.
I'm still leaning towards no one getting sued. But who knows?
I think Texas really wants OU to stay and hasn't figured out yet what they'd do if they didn't.The 4 team Pac move would be the key there.

Coming from the guy with horn rammed down his throat daily and enjoys every minute of it.
Not really.
But we all know that your aggie ass is trembling in sweet anticipation of taking on that huge SEC
Well, I know my school is headed towards an AQ conference. What about yours? I feel bad for Tech, honestly.
dude, who are you? a little relevant analysis along with banter, would do wonders for your repertoire.
this guy talking
AQ to what?
For A&M?
Or for the teams that will actually win the conference?
That's true. A&M has really taken advantage of being in a current AQ conference.
The Man was keeping them down.
lol your relevant analysis.
Why? Where is my school headed?
The ACC? God this sucks.
is there a bigger got around than this chode?
tbh jgw posts rarely and seems to have dialed it back quite a bit when he does these days.
Techie doesn't even know where is school would end up and has to ask Aggy. Pretty sad.
