XOVER -- are you sure you are a lawyer, or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? While there are some nuggets in your posts, they are so buried in the rambling verbiage that they are hard to find. Hope you don't write this way in your pleadings. Precise, concise arguments are typically more well-received.
The only thing that's clear is the need for hours and hours of discovery, both written and deposition, at about $400.00 an hour. What were all the parties emailing aroung to one another? Let's find out and tell everyone! Surely the double ought spy Byrne passed out cyanide capsules for such an occassion.
Why are you talking about an agency relationship with regard to Beebe? It doesn't matter what Beebe says. If he doesn't have the requisite authority, then it's the SEC's fault for not verifying that. They could go after Beebe for misrepresentation but not after the schools in that case. Also, outside a binding contract, parties are usually allowed to change their mind. Also, if A&M brings a lawsuit first, then there will be counterclaims right off the bat from Baylor and if I'm Baylor, I'd also make sure that other parties (like Iowa State and SEC) are joined in. That would be a total clusterfuck and then it would be A&M's fault. Right now they have somewhat of a higher moral ground but if they bring a lawsuit first, they lose that (and probably any goodwill from the SEC for putting them in the situation which they expressly said they didn't want to be). I'm sure a tortous interference claim against the SEC will probably survive any summary judgement motion. I'm quite certain that any discovery will bring up enough interaction between A&M and SEC representatives to make it painful for all involved.
XOVER's hate for Baylor and Starr are overriding his sanity. As for his comments about the Big 12 approaching Arkansas, XOVER claims aggys will use this to say "See, look, the Big 12 tortiously interfered with them too..." It's not tortious interference to ask and be denied, there's no damages.
