Another nice quote from the article:

The website Orangebloods.com was breaking most of the news during that time
largely through unnamed sources. It went from being the first to report that
the six schools were strongly considering the Pac-10 to detailing the hectic
hours as the Big 12 saved itself with the promise of a windfall increase in
future television revenue. *Scott, though, seemed to suggest that the
reporting was driven by a Texas source or sources with an agenda. **
*

How about both Texas source with an agenda?

When asked for a reaction, Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com refuted Scott's
accusation<http://dennis-dodd.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6270202/23530224>that
the info was leaked by Texas.

"Larry Scott is living in a fantasy world if he thinks DeLoss Dodds or Mack
Brown leaked information to me," Brown said.
So, like, are those the only two at Texas that any inkling that this was in
the works?  I'm not sure Mack Brown knows anything about it now.

And chattel refers to movable property.  It can refer to livestock that goes
with a farm sale, for instance.  Here he means things that go along with
Texas.  I'm not sure its Larry Scott's term since he isn't an attorney.  But
it is an interesting term.
