So I went over and we kept hitting F5, clicking the refresh button, and hitting submit nothing. Finally the screen came back up (that's what we get for using a dial-up connection), and Mike and I had bought something like 35MM shares. That's when I relaxed, we had a ton of stock but as an IPO it should go up and past 40. Mike and I would be heroes to the firm....

In isolation each even looks shady, but in totality it looks unreal. As someone who watched Enron blow up from the inside, this guy's mentality is not unique and really does fit the shadier portions of the energy culture. I'm also interested to see how ISI treats this come voting time and if they will recommend against all directors because they all seem to have been asleep at the wheel.

Einhorn was having none of it and has played the game long enough to see it coming and refused. It should be on the CEO and Broker not to engage the discussion if the investor is smart enough not to sign. Einhorn was totally in the clear, but the FSA is too stupid to understand the difference. If I tell you don't talk to me about it and you do anyway that's your stupid fault not mine.

So say your are year 6 in on a nine year wait, you still going to be eligible once they decide to take everyone out at your level? Also for this, you would have to stay at CS for 9 years which is its own form of hell.

Sure everyone in Big East is dreaming of those trips to Boise. Welcome to the new world order the SEC helped create. Not saying good or bad...just is.

He nuked that bridge of playing anyone in the B12 for the next 10 years.

Round robin makes it easy and the schools can find a plug for one year waiting out WVU, if they have to wait out.

Team is maturing and is a lot better then the one that played OU earlier in the year. If you can't beat Baylor in Waco, not liking your chances against UT.

Just like OU was the problem before now its Mizzou. However, Mizzou can't dynamite the conference thus they why we are all sitting at a stand still.

I have really enjoyed the series and the analytical horsepower you brought to this discussion. I have a scenario for you and wonder if you could comment. Assume the Chuck Nienas can get the Big 12 back to 12 by keeping Mizzou home and taking Louisville and WVU. What's the SEC's move at that point? I think you have shown the bench isn't exactly deep with schools that are cultural, athletic, and geographic fit for the conference. Would the SEC contemplate 13 schools for an indeterminate time, 5 years or more? Would the SEC look at Rutgers or a UConn given the scenario above would almost certainly implode the Big East? How hard does the SEC push on one of the ACC schools (FSU/NC State/Clemson) you mentioned to get them into the conference which would go against Slive's (we want them to come to us) mantra . Thoughts?

You guys are definitely putting a lot of thought into this and breaking it down logically. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I would imagine FSU is now the primary and secondary target for #14.

If I am Deaton or anyone else in this conference I am not putting my school in this shotgun wedding without a chance to bail. As for Baylor, Baylor is rational. You know every move Baylor will make because its based on self preservation. If it involves Baylor getting left out of an AQ conference they will fight. The one you have to worry about, the one that has extended this furball, and possibly submarined TAMU going to the SEC, and had every school headed for the hills is Boren. If he says nothing, BYU is already in the Big 12, there is no legal threat because the conference stays put, and TAMU and SEC are living happily ever after. If Boren shuts up last night, the Big 12 conference is probably solidified, maybe no BYU but possibly an AF or TCU, and TAMU is on its way to the SEC. Now all heck is breaking loose once again and nobody feels safe thus Baylor (don't forget ISU and KU) will not waive their rights and Baylor may still sue. Until this thing blows up or solidifies Slive can do nothing.
