Grant Teaff is from my hometown and where I currently live again. We have a couple of quasi BMD Baylor guys here. I know Mack Rhoades has been contacting them and their ilk about passing the hat to see if they can accumulate enough to keep Aranda. But the recents events of Tucker, Franklin and what USC and LSU are doing with Riley and Kelly have caused Mack Rhoades to make 2nd and 3rd calls to the Baylor faithful. And being a small school for all these years, there just isn't a huge number of "monied Baylor exes"....even if some have very deep pockets.
And, a similar situation happened with the local Texas Tech alumni and Chris Beard last spring. They were able to gather up enough to outspend Texas but that wasn't enough to keep him. They had to say uncle and wish Beard the best of luck. (But some felt like
@Proud_Okie does with Riley right now.) I'm afraid that is what will happen with Baylor and Aranda. If it comes to a bidding war Oklahoma > Baylor. And really will be when the Big 12 revenue drops in a few years.
