bball_backer Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Listening to USC right now and they're reading emails obtained from Dan Beebe through the freedom of informatino act. The email they're focusing on is one Beebe THOUGHT he was sending to remaining Big XII teams. He begins his email with "I'm not sending this to Colorado or Nebraska for obvious reasons" yet the email was, in fact, sent to both schools. The kicker is, in this email Beebe explains that the loss of the two schools WILL NOT hurt the conference, and in fact may make things BETTER financially for everyone left in the conference. Assuming Nebraska and Colorado have lawyers worth their weight in salt, they should have no problem convincing a judge they do not owe exit fees. Thank you, Mr. Beebe, for reminding us how lucky we are to be getting out of a conference run by someone as incompetent as you I can't find a link to the email, but if anyone does, please post Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Heard that too. It is hilarious what a clown Beebe is!! Quote Link to comment
bleedNUred Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This just makes leaving that much BETTER. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't know if this is the one USC is reading right now, but you can read the one he sent to member institutions to "save" them HERE. Quote Link to comment

That lead in doesn't sound like what they read. I'm sure there are several that Dan B sent out. Did they say who did the FOIA request and/or which school it was from? Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 not sure if this will work, but i'll give it a try Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 hopefully you can read that...if you have a small screen or poor eyes it may be tough Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 it's also worth mentioning, the guys were saying the wording in the big xii rules for exit fees states exit fees are necessary when losing the school is a detriment to the conference. if you can't read it, the last sentences of the first paragraph says: ... I have been informed that the economic situation would not change much, if at all, with the departures. In fact, we expect the departures could lead to a greater share for the remaining schools.

This is basically the case that several people laid out for UNL to pay nothing in exit fees. I could search for the thread talking about it but I'm not going to. This is the hard copy of what we already knew had been said, I believe. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 waits for Texas fans to enter thread and come up with an excuse for Beebe's comments... Quote Link to comment

It's possible we'll back down, pay a nominal fee, and walk away quietly. But I would so very dearly love for that steel that we all know is inside Osborne to show itself once again and drag this thing through the muddy courts. Because then there will be no place for the Dan Beebes and the Deloss Doddses of the world to hide their shenanigans - and that goes for several other schools in this soon-to-be-defunct conference. I get this mental image sometimes of our Chancellor staring down Beebe and Dodds, lawsuit in hand, biting off the words, "What you have to ask yourselves, punks, is, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punks?" In that daydream I refer to him as Dirty Harvey. 1 Quote Link to comment
