"We're (A&M) being held hostage!"..."and Baylor is the 'ringleader'!"
That is what a source close to TEXAS A&M said
during a BIG XII conference call today.

Latest: Wednesday, September 07, 2011:
As the SEC "officially and unanimously consents" to allow TEXAS A&M to join their conference today as the 13th member of the storied conference, BAYLOR threatens A&M with possible "legal action"! That threat goes forward if they (A&M) continue with plans to move eastward and "if" Oklahoma decides to abandon ship as well.Update: Thursday, September 08, 2011:
In this latest of Big XII Conference "team shifting" news, thus far UT and TEXAS TECH have agreed to waive their rights and allow TEXAS A&M to move to the SEC without seeking legal action. OU is still not saying what their intentions are as far as seeking another conference as well which could be the PAC 12; they will make their decision public within two weeks.
If the Longhorns decide to follow suit and go to the PAC 12, they would have to give up their new 'Longhorn Network'. The PAC 12 currently gives equal power and money to each of their universities (big or small). If a super-conference were to form into a PAC 16, UT would be equal to everyone else; all teams would have the same revenue cut and voting power. The UT hay-day of being the "big fish in a small pond" would be over and they would just be another fish in the water. That is the way a conference should be for all to have a shot at being successful! TEXAS TECH and OK ST are rumored to go westward to the PAC 12, as well if OU decides to make the move to that legendary conference.
