Senco beat me to it. And here is a billboard purchased by some Aggie fans for their not so big 12 frenemies

this is in Waco near Baylor's stadium
 
No, Tater Tots, Texas A&M sent the SEC a letter saying "Can we come play wif you?" The SEC prezes all voted 12-0 for them to come in. Now it gets all hinky in that the Not so Big 12 Commish sent SEC Commish Mike Slive a letter saying that it was ok, that no member would oppose. And then Baylor had to whine like a little bitch and threaten to sue. Here is a copy of the letter from Beebee to Slive.

Mike Slive

Commissioner

Southeastern Conference

2201 Richard Arrington Boulevard North

Birmingham, AL 35203

Dear Mike:

This is to confirm our discussion yesterday during which I informed you that the Big 12 Conference Board of Directors unanimously authorized me to convey to you and their colleagues in the Southeastern Conference that the Big 12 and its members will not take any legal action for any possible claims against the SEC or its members relating to the departure of Texas A&M University from the Big 12 and the admission of Texas A&M into the SEC; provided, however, that such act by the SEC to admit Texas A&M is publicly confirmed by 5:00 p.m. (CDT) on

September 8, 2011.

Such admission of Texas A&M will result in the withdrawal of Texas A&M from the Big 12 Conference effective June 30, 2012. We both agreed it is in the best interests of each of our conferences and our member institutions of higher education to waive any and all legal actions by either conference and its members resulting from admission of Texas A&M into the SEC, as long as such admission is confirmed publicly by September 8, 2011.

If any of your presidents and chancellors have concerns about this commitment of the Big 12 Conference, they may contact me or Brady Deaton, Big 12 Board of Director chairman and chancellor of the University of Missouri, Columbia.

Sincerely,

Dan Beebe

Commissioner
