****paging 96 paging 96****I heard the request asked for the exit plan in two syllable words...
Texas A&M also requested that the Big 12 outline the process to be followed should the university elect to withdraw from the conference.
True, but he does clean the man's pool....They sent the letter to the wrong person. Who is this Dan Beebe? I'm pretty sure he's not the Big 12 commissioner....
Perfect. Those all have just 2 syllables. I hope aTm is paying attention.****paging 96 paging 96****
I'm getting the impression that this is a giant bluff on A&M's part. Asking for the procedures to leave? :wtf: Seriously. Just go. Like 99 said, CU and NU already did it. The pattern has been established. Just go.

Why would this go to court? I don't remember there being any threats of legal action when CU and NU left. What makes this different?

This is probably a smart move for them. It puts the onus onto the Big 12 to say what the penalty will be for leaving the conference.
I thought that with part of the new Big 12-2, with the new distributions, there was some much larger exit penalty? My memory sucks. Do they just still have the same structure as when CU and NU left?

I could be wrong but I thought that the Big XII changed the exit clause in their charter after CU and NU bolted. It might end up costing aTm more money.
From USA Today.....
League bylaws would require A&M or any other school that leaves to forfeit 90% of its share of Big 12 revenues over two years, an estimated $28 million in the Aggies' case. Colorado and Nebraska negotiated their exit fees down.
A Big 12 official told OrangeBlood‘s Chip Brown that A&M could pay upward of $30 million in exit fees if they decide to leave the Big 12. If you remember from an earlier post covering a possible time frame for a departure, A&M would have to pay 90 percent of its conference revenue if it joined the SEC in 2012.
They are pulling that from our good buddy Chip Brown.
An A&M insider said the letter is simply the first official, legal step in the process of A&M exiting the Big 12 for the SEC. The Big 12’s directors board is scheduled to meet on Saturday, the insider said, and perhaps at that time release the Aggies from the conference. If so, the SEC would then be free in the days following to invite A&M as its 13th member, and the Big 12 likely would officially begin its pursuit of a 10th member to take A&M’s place – perhaps BYU, Notre Dame, Houston or SMU, among other candidates
