Here's one to an Aggie board that talks about the rumors:

Finally, here is a link to CBS Sportsline, which is a reputable organization:

Yeah, I didn't think the contract is what they were referring to. The implication is that there's much more than contract information that was released. That's supposedly the damning part, though I'll be the first to note that I'll believe it when I see it.

Mizzou had a similar FOIA filed against them related to the Big Ten negotiations. Mizzou was able to hold back all communications because there was no completion of contract related to those discussions. My guess is that UT will be use a similar argument to hold back any negotiations about an independent move. They'll argue that any discussion related to that topic won't be released because there was no contract related to any independent network agreement. They only have to release documents related to the LHN/Big 12 agreement. It's a small qualification, but a very important one.
