After a Wednesday filled with marvelous insights into what a dorked-up organization the Big 12 is, nothing should really surprise you. So here's this: Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe released a statement saying the promise the conference made to the SEC -- that the SEC wouldn't be sued for admitting Texas A&M -- covered the conference only and not any of its member schools.
And then!
A&M president R. Bowen Loftin, with his bow tie whirling at hundreds of rotations per minute, told the Associated Press that none of this quite adds up:
We took this letter very seriously. We asked for such a statement. They gave it to us freely. It says here unanimous vote was taken and yet when we look at Beebe's letter last night it says: `No we didn't really mean that,' and I find that to be rather difficult to digest.
The AP report also cites an email from Beebe to SEC commissioner Mike Slive, which was sent pretty much during the SEC's vote on whether to admit the Aggies. In it, Baylor's name is officially mentioned for the first time as the school doing the most to gum all this up.
Really looking forward to college football season so we can be done with this stuff, am I right?

Why Is Loftin So Worried???
Is there a realistic chance that one of the remaining members of the Big12 is going to pay its lawyers to sue A&M? And on what basis?? The Jilted Spouse Offense? “Once you joined and married us in the conference, we all assumed it meant forever!”?
And… for what it is worth, I STILL don’t want the longhorns in the Pacific Conference.

Divorce
Is an option to get around “till death do us part”. Why are divorces so costly? Because they’re worth it!!
