Good move to get the OK AG to weigh in and counter the TX AG threat.  Now Yormark/B12 has no excuse not to act. 

Expect to see B12 take action this month vs TT.

The only time in history I’m rooting for Oklahoma over Texas in anything…

Based solely on the two letters, Oklahoma is doing much better on the legal analysis sort of thing.

That is absolutely untrue.  Paxton is doing his job by advocating for a state entity that is directly affected by this scandal.  Drummond is advocating for a state entity that is indirectly affected.

How are Tech's opponents indirectly affected? If Sayin gambled on games like Sorsby and was allowed to play, I'm pretty sure that directly affects Texas. Or is gambling ok?

Paxton has no legal ground to stand on. It's not the job of an AG to blindly support a state entity. This is a Campbell money thing.

Hopefully other AG’s will follow suit through out Big 12

I’m talking about the legal analysis in the letters. We know it’s a political letter and we know why Paxton wrote it. But he didn’t have to write gibberish.

omg....that is literally the job description of the State Attorney General.  He is defending Texas Tech, a state entity that is abiding by a court order, against the Big 12.  

The Big 12 is demanding that a state university violate a court order.

This has nothing to do with being a Democrat or a Republican or a Longhorn or Red Raider.  This has everything to do with the (in my view) terrible ruling by the judge.  Paxton is simply doing his job, but apparently most here are too biased to see the obvious.

No it isn't. The job description is to uphold the law. There's no law in the state of Texas that says college athletes can gamble on their own team. You're very confused.

You are wrong and that’s OK. The AG’s job is to represent the state in legal matters.   Texas Tech is being pressured by the Big 12 to ignore a judge’s ruling. 

You try ignoring a judge’s ruling in your life and report back here.
