@@@ BAA is seeking a judgment compelling Baylor to uphold its obligations under an official recognition agreement, which it says establishes the BAA as the university鈥檚 official alumni association.
The organization also wants a <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Mens-Clothing-Chain-Bangle-Watch.html>Gucci Bangle Watch</a> ruling preventing Baylor from continuing to operate its Baylor Alumni Network, which the lawsuit alleges was created to undermine the BAA鈥檚 alumni outreach and communication activities. 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?

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.
