Baylor argues in the lawsuit that the BAA has abandoned the charitable purposes outlined in its bylaws, including providing scholarships for students and coordinating alumni activities.

The suit notes that all but one of the BAA’s staff resigned after the failure of the transition agreement, 10 of whom have taken jobs with the university.

“BAA has no capacity to ‘coordinate all alumni activity (of Baylor)’ nor to ‘serve as the general alumni organization of Baylor University,’ nor is it likely to acquire such capacity,” the lawsuit states.

In addition, the lawsuit notes that the BAA made a $1 million scholarship donation pledge in February 2013 but never provided those funds to the university.

In a May 30 letter to Baylor, former BAA President George Cowden III noted that the group’s leadership team had planned to finalize the details of the donations with the university, but those talks were put on hold during the negotiations of the transition agreement.

A team of representatives from the BAA and members of Baylor’s board of regents hashed out the transition agreement over 10 months, but the final details were only revealed to the BAA’s full membership when the document was unveiled publicly in May 2013.
