In a May 19 letter to <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-By-Swim-Trunks-Authentic-Bag.html>Authentic Gucci Bag</a>  the association鈥檚 board of directors, Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr wrote that the university is 鈥減reparing the appropriate course鈥?to bar the BAA from continuing to act as an official alumni organization for Baylor.
+
The first week of the  season has come and gone. With it, we were served up a hectic slate of matchups across the league that wreaked some havoc on the start of fantasy football seasons as well.
−
The action stems from a lengthy battle between Baylor and the BAA over the alumni group鈥檚 independent status. The relationship was further severed after the association did not approve a transition agreement last fall that would have dissolved the organization鈥檚 independent charter and allowed Baylor to assume all alumni outreach and communications.
+
With a number of big names going head-to-head right away, there were some immediate tests for certain players. A number of them succeeded, but many failed as well.
−
鈥淥ver many months, we have clearly and repeatedly communicated the possibility of the exercise of the university鈥檚 legal rights in the absence of an appropriate plan of action from the association,鈥?Starr wrote in the letter. 鈥淏ecause we cannot shrink from doing our duty to serve all Baylor alumni; to guard against demonstrable confusion about the university鈥檚 alumni program; and to protect the integrity of Baylor鈥檚 good name, we have determined, with great sadness, that the time has come for us to move forward.鈥?
+
It's important not to overreact too much, fantasy-wise, <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php>Gucci Outlet Store</a>  to Week 1 games. Things tend to get wacky after a long offseason with everyone shaking off the cobwebs. But there are certainly some big opportunities that can arise early in the season as well.
−
In a written response to Starr dated May 30, former alumni association President George Cowden III charged that Baylor repeatedly has impeded the BAA鈥檚 efforts to continue its operations, including demolishing the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center, which had been the BAA鈥檚 on-campus headquarters since 1978; locking the association鈥檚 staff out of offices they were using at Baylor鈥檚 Clifton Robinson Administrative Tower in December; and previous legal notices announcing Baylor鈥檚 intent to sever licensing agreements with the association.
+
First, let's take a look at three good surprises from Week 1 and discuss their implications.
−
鈥淒espite these and a raft of other obstacles to our continued operation, our all-volunteer group of dedicated Baylor alumni continues to press forward with a steadfast hope for an inclusive, transparent exchange of ideas,鈥?Cowden wrote in the letter.
+
&nbsp;
−
The letter from Starr was written days after the BAA printed , a name Baylor also purports to hold trademark rights over.
+
Allen Hurns, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
−
That issue was themed 鈥淭he Real Story鈥?and gives the BAA鈥檚 account of the origins of its contentious relationship with the university.
+
How about that for a debut? Hurns, a little-known draft prospect from Miami just a few months ago, suddenly burst onto the scene in the first quarter of his first NFL game with two touchdown <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php>gucci outlet</a>  catches.
−
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said the letter was not in response to the issue, but instead stemmed from ongoing frustration at the BAA鈥檚 slow progress toward redefining for themselves a role that鈥檚 consistent with its historic charitable purpose and with its own governing documents.
+
Facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles, everyone expected Chad Henne and the Jags to get blown out. But they jumped out to a 17-0 lead, due largely to Hurns's playmaking abilities.
−
Fogleman said about 50 percent of members surveyed after the Sept. 7 vote on the transition agreement were in favor of reorganizing into a foundation that primarily raises scholarships for students, for example.
+
Jacksonville ended up blowing the game, but Hurns finished with four receptions for 110 yards and two scores to end up as one of the highest-scoring receivers of the week.
−
鈥淲e allowed time for the development of a plan that, unfortunately, nine months later, we鈥檝e received no such proposal from the association, nor does the association seem any closer to bringing forward such a proposal,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淭he university remains profoundly saddened and disappointed that the association鈥檚 been unable to agree to a constructive course of action going forward.鈥?
+
He will almost certainly not have another game like that again this season, but Hurns is certainly worth a waiver-wire pickup.&nbsp;
−
The university previously ordered the group to cease using its name by Dec. 8, a notice issued in response to the failure of the transition agreement.
+
&nbsp;
−
The agreement was negotiated between members of Baylor鈥檚 board of regents and a small group of association leaders over 10 months, though the full details of the document were only revealed to the alumni group鈥檚 full board of directors and membership in May 2013, when it was announced publicly.
+
, QB, Atlanta Falcons
−
The agreement garnered 55 percent of the <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Ladies-Watches-Men-Watch-Vintage-Bags.html>Vintage Gucci Bags</a>  votes cast by the 1,499 members who participated in the vote, which had to be conducted in person at Waco Hall on Sept. 7, in accordance with the group鈥檚 bylaws.
+
Last year was not a good year for Ryan and the Falcons, but they certainly took a big step towards reversing things in the opener against New Orleans.
−
But the BAA鈥檚 bylaws required a two-thirds majority for any measure to pass.
+
Ryan put up video game numbers, going 31-of-43 with 448 yards and three touchdowns on the day. He looked very impressive, spreading the ball around and throwing downfield with accuracy.
−
Baylor subsequently notified the group that it was terminating licensing agreements with the BAA that allowed the group to act as the university鈥檚 official alumni association and to use 鈥淏aylor鈥?in its name and activities.
+
It's a heck of a game, especially against a team with a solid pass defense like New Orleans, which ranked second in the league last year behind Seattle.&nbsp;
−
The BAA has argued that those agreements are granted to the association 鈥渋n perpetuity鈥?and that Baylor does not have the right to void them.
+
&nbsp;
−
Newly elected BAA President Keith Starr, who is no relation to Ken Starr, said the organization still plans to continue operating as the Baylor Alumni Association, and that the group is hopeful Baylor will honor the original licensing agreements.
+
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Miami Dolphins
−
鈥淣obody that I know of from the alumni association is looking for a fight with Baylor,鈥?Keith Starr said. 鈥淲e love the university. Nobody would serve on the alumni association board or assume a position of leadership within the alumni association if they weren鈥檛 committed to the university.鈥?
+
At the start of the Dolphins' game against New England,  was the starting running back. Right now? I'd guess Miami is reconsidering its backfield.
−
The BAA elected new officers and board members this weekend at its membership meeting.
+
Maybe he was sick of everyone saying that he only succeeded because of , but Moreno ran like a man possessed on Sunday afternoon.
−
The group also is soliciting online input from members this summer on three options for the organization鈥檚 mission: solely raising money for <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Envy-Me-Sneakers-Cheap-Large-Tote.html>Gucci Envy Me</a>  scholarships to Baylor students, focusing only on alumni communications and outreach, or being equally dedicated to both functions.
+
He almost single-handedly <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php>Gucci Shoes</a>  led Miami to victory, rushing 24 times for 134 yards and a touchdown. Perhaps 2013 wasn't a one-time breakout season after all. Regardless, his big game in Week 1 was certainly a surprise.
−
The association鈥檚 board of directors will evaluate the feedback and bring a formal recommendation for the full membership to vote on later this fall.
+
&nbsp;
−
Keith Starr said the BAA has remained open to continuing to work with the university on a compromise.
+
There were plenty of good performances like these, but a few guys also had surprisingly bad games. It's definitely not time to panic yet, but these three players need to be re-evaluated, at least somewhat.
−
鈥淭he best result would be a truly negotiated resolution of the differences between the organizations,鈥?he said. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 control what the university does, all I can do is be sensitive to what the members of the alumni association want to do with our organization, in accordance with the agreements that we have with Baylor.鈥?
