The issue is still money ... and there is a lot of money at stake here.

Later, though, after a conference call between Big 12 campus leaders, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported that Baylor was one of six Big 12 schools that decided not to waive its rights to seek legal action should Texas A&M join the SEC — unless, the newspaper reported, Oklahoma agreed to stay in the Big 12 and not leave for the Pac-12. If Oklahoma pledged its commitment to the Big 12, the six schools would reportedly agree to waive their legal claims. Joining Baylor, the Tribune-Herald reported, were Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Texas Tech.

That came as news to Oklahoma. “I haven’t heard anything about this ‘group of 6,’ ” a school official told The Oklahoman newspaper.

When asked yesterday afternoon if Missouri had waived its rights to sue, MU spokesman Mary Jo Banken declined comment. Last night, ESPN reported that eight of the nine Big 12 schools — all but Oklahoma — refused to waive their rights.
