Despite your article you like to post with Larry Scott saying Baylor was bitching?
Scott said a "tsunami of political pressure" from state politicians in Texas killed the Pac 16 deal once it became apparent that Baylor would be left out last summer. I'm not making that up, the Pac commissioner said those words.
Look, I hope A&M can go - you know that. I have wanted Texas and A&M to be able to break free to do what they want for years now. But there is no denying history, especially recent history. If the aggies have found a way to run the political gauntlet, good for them.

Add Arkansas State and Tulane so us and LSU finally have a rival.

Just to spice things up, since this is a TexAgs created beast today, here is a new TexAgs rumor that Landry Jones has a broken arm:

I'm not sure what political pressure Baylor could enforce on the commisioner of an west coast conference. What were there threats? What do those west coast liberals care about a bunch of conservative baptists in texas?
Baylor really doesn't have the political clout they once did. There only hope would be to threaten to withhold presidential campaign money from Perry
