In a press release, BAA President Keith Starr, who is no relation to Baylor President Ken Starr, said the group has spent about a month trying to work out a settlement with Baylor, but those talks have failed.

Julie Hillrichs, a spokeswoman for the BAA, said attorneys for Baylor鈥檚 board of regents gave the BAA until Thursday to approve a settlement offer. But the alumni association appealed to extend the agreement until Sept. 6 so it could adopt new bylaws, a process that requires approval by two-thirds of its members, then take a full membership vote on the agreement.

  The regents denied the request. The BAA filed its answer and counterclaim Wednesday in McLennan County鈥檚 74th State District Court.

鈥淎t the end of the day, our efforts at peace failed, and the timetable insisted on by the regents was unworkable,鈥?Keith Starr said in the press release. 鈥淣ow, we must reluctantly, but resolutely, defend the claims made against us and prosecute our counterclaims.鈥?

The BAA said the terms of the settlement offer must remain confidential.

Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said in an email: 鈥淥ver the course of the last two years, Baylor鈥檚 administration and Board of Regents have proactively engaged the alumni <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Kids-Belt-Cheap-Hoodies.html>Gucci Kids</a>  association in negotiations. Our most recent discussions were with yet another group of leaders appointed by the association for this purpose. Regrettably, our attempts at resolution have been unsuccessful.

鈥淪adly, the association appears to be unable to chart for itself or to otherwise approve a productive course forward in support of Baylor University and its students. The association鈥檚 actions today are disappointing to us all.鈥?

Baylor鈥檚 lawsuit alleges that the BAA no longer has rights to use its name and licensed marks after the university moved to terminate licensing agreements with the alumni group in the fall.

The school is seeking a judgment barring the group from continuing to hold itself out as the university鈥檚 official alumni association and injunctive <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Women-Wallet-Coin-Purse-Mens-Clothes.html>Gucci Women Wallet</a>  relief 鈥渢o limit BAA鈥檚 purposes by reformation to provide only financial aid to Baylor students.鈥?

The university severed the arrangements after a failed attempt to approve a transition agreement that would have dissolved the BAA, allowed Baylor to assume most of the group鈥檚 alumni outreach activities and created a Baylor Line Corp. to continue producing the BAA鈥檚 The Baylor Line alumni magazine.

In its counterclaim, the BAA alleges Baylor is in violation of its agreements with the alumni group.

鈥淥ver the years, the relationship between the BAA and the university cherished by its members has soured,鈥?the counterclaim says.
