    NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal lashed out at U.S. Open officials because of the way he was treated during a rainy Wednesday at the U.S. Open.

    “We don’t feel protected, the players,” the defending Open champion told ESPN’s Pam Shriver after play was suspended in his match with Gilles Muller.

    “We don’t feel protected [by] the tournament. Grand Slams is lot of money, and we are part of the show — they are just working for that, not for us. They call us on court, cannot be possible. They dry the court for 45 minutes, but the rain never stops. The court was dry for 10 minutes but they know after 10 minutes we have to go out [of] the court another time and they still put us out on court, for the fans. I understand the fans are there, but, you know, health and the players are important. We are part of the show too, and we don’t feel protected.”

    Baylor is standing between Texas A&M and the SEC.

    The SEC presidents voted unanimously to allow the Big 12 school to become the league’s 13th program, but Baylor is threatening legal action to oppose the move.

    “We were notified yesterday afternoon that at least one Big 12 institution had withdrawn its previous consent and was considering legal action,” University of Florida president and SEC chairman Dr. Bernie Machen said in a statement released Wednesday. “The SEC has stated that to consider an institution for membership, there must be no contractual hindrances to its departure. “
