Rivals Board-
there's chatter that...
Sources close to the discussion coming out of the Big 12 meeting have said the conference is sticking together at nine and will look to add a 10th team.
The issues have been resolved and an equal revenue sharing partnership is being worked out among the remaining members.
This is a big win for Baylor and Texas as both worked together to save the conference from scattering across the country.
The Aggies should have an announcement by tomorrow on joining the SEC.
On the possibility of pursuing litigation, the Big 12 members still have not signed the waiver, but if the gentleman's agreement is kept there shouldn't be an issue.
I guess this is being posted on the Longhorn and Baylor's 24/7 sites and behind pay-walls...
Here's what the Baylor writer said.
According to BearsTruth.com’s Brian Ethridge, Texas A&M will be allowed to go to the Southeastern Conference as a deal has been reached between the remaining nine members of the Big 12 that will remove the specter of a potential lawsuit.

According to Ethridge, although it is unlikely that a waiver will ever be signed by all remaining members of the Big 12, the institutions are willing to be party to a gentlemen’s agreement so long as the SEC does not attempt to or agree to poach another school from the Big 12.
