@@@ BAA President Collin Cox said the conference call was to assess where members are emotionally and pragmatically regarding the association鈥檚 future.

There was no agenda <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Sunglasses-Men-For-Baby-Bamboo.html>Gucci Sunglasses Men</a>  of action items for the conference call, Cox said.
鈥淚t was a healthy discussion,鈥?he said.
The transition agreement between BAA and Baylor University, up for a vote Sept. 7, would have ended the 154-year-old BAA.
It also would have created the Baylor Line Corp., which would publish The Baylor Line magazine and recommend a nonvoting member to the board of regents.
But the agreement failed to win the required two-thirds majority among alumni association members who voted. As a result, the university terminated its licensing contracts with the BAA, meaning the organization must stop using Baylor鈥檚 name and logo within 90 days.
BAA President-elect Si Ragsdale declined to comment on the conference call Saturday.
The beginning of the call included all BAA members who wished to participate. Cox said about 60 people joined the call. Board members then had a separate discussion among themselves that was not open to those not in leadership positions.
鈥楩ight for the survival鈥?
Bette McCall Miller, a non-board member and vocal opponent of the transition agreement, participated in <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Frame-Prices-Eye-Glasses.html>Gucci Belts Sale</a>  the first part of the conference call. She said a few members called on leaders who 鈥渄o not want to fight for the survival of the BAA to make room for leaders who do want to wage that fight.鈥?
Miller said she and some other participants in the conference call also expressed a desire to keep using the Baylor name and wait for the university to sue. She said she thinks legal action by Baylor would not be successful because of a 1993 agreement that gives the association perpetual license to use the <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Clothing-Eyewear-Mens-Shoes.html>Gucci Eyewear</a>  names Baylor Alumni Association and Baylor Line.
鈥淲e think Baylor should honor its contracts,鈥?Miller said. 鈥淢y thought and the thoughts of several people who are unfortunately not in leadership positions right now is we should go about business as usual.鈥?
For now, the BAA is using the Baylor brand and working out of its offices at Clifton Robinson Tower, Cox said.
鈥淲e still have a staff and a board and membership, so we鈥檒l keep talking about what to do next,鈥?Cox said. 鈥淏ut we鈥檙e not going to announce what鈥檚 going to happen long-term, or even medium-term.鈥?
Cox said the BAA plans to meet 鈥渨ithin a few weeks鈥?in Waco, and will have more conversations between now and then.
