Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4019876, member: 833"] Remind me to never do business in whatever state you operate. Apparently in your jurisdiction partners are allowed to do whatever they want to each other, but in civilization, there are expectations of good faith in partnerships. And before you make up a bunch of facts about what the SEC, OU and UT did that you have no idea about, let's just assume that they have been talking for a while since the first leak about the story came from A&M. If A&M knew, then this had gotten around. Also, a technical dodge of what appear to be fairly clear restrictions on seeking alternative conference membership would not look good in a trial. That would make it a conspiracy to defraud the Big 12. The SEC is not maintaining anything, and this is not Omerta, so it is safe to assume that anyone with knowledge of these discussions would cave pretty quickly under questioning if they were under oath. Would you want that process to start if you were the SEC? The Big 12 probably doesn't want to sue, but they are making a few public jabs just to let people know that they have options if they are not taken care of. It appears they are using the Big East actions as their game plan. Smart move on their part. [/QUOTE]
