We're in a new game now.

Pretty obvious that SAE didn't own that property, which surprises me, if they have been there on campus for decades. However, that may be an OU policy - that the University owns all the land/buildings and leases to the fraternities/sororities. I don't know. Kevin?

Not talking about the withdraw of SAE. That can be done easily and without a trial / hearing / whatever - I agree. What I'm talking about is kicking the two guys out of school with no trial.

Technically only one got kicked out (Pettit) - Rice withdrew voluntarily.

Remember we are all speculating, as I stated earlier, and MysticCat reminded me. We've not seen the OU/SAE landlord-tenant agreement, for example. Again, it's going to be very interesting to watch this play out.
