On Tuesday night, Texas A&M heard what they wanted to hear from the SEC. Other Big 12 schools didn't like what they heard at all.

As a result, plans for a celebration in College Station on the Aggies acceptance to the SEC are on hold, as Baylor and several other Big 12 schools ponder legal action to block the move. Their claim: that the SEC and Commissioner Mike Slive committed tortious interference, or tampered with A&M before the school announced its intention to depart.

The SEC and A&M are both furious at the move, citing a letter sent by Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe sent Sept. 2 which appeared to green light the move.

"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," Beebe said in the letter.

While the SEC presidents were meeting in Atlanta last night to unanimously approve the Aggies inclusion in the conference, Beebe sent a second message, saying his first message was wrong was incorrect and the Southeastern Conference will need to ask each Big 12 school to waive their legal rights to clear the way for Texas A&M to join the SEC.

"I recognize that this issue has been raised due to Baylor University's indication that its governing board has not waived the university's rights" to take legal action, Beebe said.

"I regret any confusion on this issue," he added.

As angry as both the SEC and A&M are with Baylor and the other schools who could potentially block the move, it looks like their fury with Beebe is even greater. In an interview with the Associated Press, A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said the second e-mail was "really a violation of trust" on the part of Beebe.

Will Baylor and the other schools actually sue? For several, and certainly Baylor, the mindset is that they have nothing to lose as the disintegration of the Big 12 means fading into a smaller, non-qualifying conference.

Will the SEC take being pushed around by a bunch of desperate schools? The conference has remained quiet all day, but several media outlets in Atlanta and Birmingham have indicated that they are looking at adding A&M anyway, in spite of the lawsuit threats.
