鈥淲e have tried for several years now to reach an agreement with the university that enables us to preserve our name, the title of our magazine, the Baylor Line, and keeps our commitment to thousands of Baylor alumni,鈥?BAA President Keith Starr said when the lawsuit was filed.
鈥淗owever, the university has rejected our attempts at peace for over a decade and has chosen to continue its efforts to marginalize the BAA, up to and including suing its officially recognized alumni organization,鈥?he said.
Starr, no relation to Baylor <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Tie-Men-Sneakers-Key-Chain.html>Gucci Men Sneakers</a> President Ken Starr, deferred comment Monday to Pauerstein.
Pauerstein said Monday that litigants involved in cases involving charitable trusts are required by law to notify the attorney general鈥檚 office.
鈥淗istorically, when I have been involved in cases where the attorney general鈥檚 office has been notified, they only intervene if it is perceived the particular charity is one that involves a lot of public interests. They may choose to intervene, but since it is a Baylor-oriented entity, I tend to think not,鈥?Pauerstein said.
Baylor alleges in the lawsuit that the BAA has 鈥渁bandoned its charitable purposes鈥?as outlined in the association鈥檚 bylaws, including raising money for student scholarships.
The suit highlights a $1 million scholarship pledge from the BAA in February 2013 that was not completed.
The BAA, however, says it was not completed because of the dispute surrounding the transition agreement. Keith Starr said after the lawsuit was filed that the BAA has not abandoned its charitable purpose, but it has been impeded by Baylor.

-A couple notes: the cut-off for a QBR drop that I considered significant was a drop of around 20 points. Some QBs barely missed the <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Black-Backpack-Man-Purse-Pink-Perfume.html>Black Gucci Backpack</a>  cut-offs (see Roethlisberger), but I decided to include them anyways. Also, Rodgers obviously didn't have a "bad" game week 1, but he did drop his QBR by ~30 points, so I decided to include him as well.
+Assistant Attorney General Amanda K. Hudson informed the parties in the ongoing dispute that the attorney general 鈥渋s a proper party to such action and may intervene on the behalf of the public鈥檚 interest in <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Outlet-Handbags-Mens-Backpack-Infant-Shoes.html>Gucci Outlet Online</a>  charity.鈥?
-Let's Take a Closer Look.
+  She said she is reviewing documents to determine if the attorney general鈥檚 participation is warranted.
-  The average change in yearly QBR for these QBs is -11.68
+ Baylor sued the BAA in June in the latest salvo between the two sides. The BAA has pledged to file a countersuit, but as of Monday, its attorney said it had not yet been served with Baylor鈥檚 suit, filed in early June in Waco鈥檚 74th State District Court.
-This is actually the most disheartening statistic. What this really means is that Romo will probably have a significantly worse season this year, judging by his performance in the first game. None of the QBs who had a significant drop in their first game was able to even get close to their previous year's performance (at least in terms of QBR).
+  鈥淩ight now, everyone is taking a deep breath and trying to figure out where things go from here,鈥?said J.D. Pauerstein, the San Antonio attorney who represents the BAA.
-  No QB had a drop as drastic as Romo did
+  Lauren Bean, deputy communications director for the attorney general鈥檚 office, said that under the Texas Property Code, the AG鈥檚 office must be given notice of all 鈥減roceedings involving a charitable trust.鈥?
-This kind of builds on the previous point, but Romo had a drop of -35.9 points. In our group of QBs only Rodgers gets close to that, and he was playing with a completely ridiculous 122.5 QBR the previous year. What this means is that the Romo we know and love could be a lot worse than we had hoped this year, maybe one of the worst years yet. This does not bode well for the team. However...
+ 鈥淎t this time, the attorney general鈥檚 office is strictly monitoring this case and currently has no plans to get involved in this litigation,鈥?she said.
-  Out of all the teams with QBs that we able to stay above 80 QBR, only the  and  had a losing record
+ Baylor, saying it has severed licensing agreements with the BAA, is seeking to prevent the group from using the university鈥檚 name.
-Okay, now we're talking blue kool-aid. Yeah, yeah I know correlation, causation whatever, but the fact remains there's some knowledge to be gained here. This is actually the main reason why <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Shoes-Handbag-Sale-Women-Watches.html>Gucci Belts Online</a>  I think the  might not be so bad this year. Looking at the teams that ended badly: Redskins are always a shaky team, especially in these past few years with RG3's knee and all. The Saints in 2012 had a horrible defense that gave up the most yards and second most points. I really doubt Romo's supporting cast this year could be as bad as those two teams. So there's still a little bit of hope for our Cowboys, especially since the 2013  won their division 12-4. Bad news is, none of the teams who had QBs below 80 QBR made it to playoffs.
+ The BAA has countered that those agreements, which also allowed the BAA to operate as Baylor鈥檚 official alumni organization, are in effect in perpetuity and cannot be terminated.
-  Good QBs...stay good
+ Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman referred questions about the attorney general鈥檚 possible involvement in the lawsuit to a section of Baylor鈥檚 petition that says litigants must notify the attorney general鈥檚 office in cases involving charitable trusts.
-Again going off the previous point, all 3 of the "elite" (ugh) Quarterbacks who laid an egg their first game still managed a pretty good QBR at the end of the year. Brady, Brees, and Rodgers each were above 87 QBR that year, and also still created a situation for their team to at least have a shot at a winning record. (Though <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Sweatshirt-V-Neck-Backpack.html>Gucci Backpack</a>  we already discussed why Brees's 2012 team did not make it) I chose to think Romo is closer to Brees and Brady than he is to RGIII and Michael Vick, so there is reason to think Romo will bounce back better than expected.
+ A transition agreement drafted by Baylor regents and a group <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Sunglasses-Sale-Shoe-Mens-Shirts.html>Gucci Shoe</a>  of elected BAA leaders and members of the board, which would have dissolved the organizations鈥?charter, failed to gain enough votes from alumni association members to pass. Those leaders and several other association board members resigned after the vote failed.
-Conclusion
+ 鈥淲e have tried for several years now to reach an agreement with the university that enables us to preserve our name, the title of our magazine, the Baylor Line, and keeps our commitment to thousands of Baylor alumni,鈥?BAA President Keith Starr said when the lawsuit was filed.
-Okay, so the prognosis isn't too great. Romo is all but certain to decline this year, and very few teams with a QB that has declined make it to playoffs. There is still a little bit of hope, as evidenced by both Rodgers and Brady, if Romo can at least maintain a respectable QBR and the defense maintains its performance from week 1, we could end up with a team that is at least vying for a wildcard spot. If not, however, we could be in for a pretty rough year.
