Message: [QUOTE="BKarchitect, post: 1796265, member: 7320"] Winning over that room could be the easy part. Bowlsby, left to his own intuition is a very smart man. Can easily see WVU being favorable. Rumors already exist that OU and Boren have been pro-UConn and no reason for KSU to be demonstrably a anti-Huskies. The hard part is when Bowlsby and co make their recommendation to all the league presidents and then they vote. You need 8 yes votes. The individual presidents have never shown any inclination to listen to their own commissioner and steering committee about what is best for the league. If you can convince Texas it's not going to matter because they'll have their veto block. Likewise the northern schools. That's why I still feel this is 4 or nothing. I don't see any two schools which will satisfy everyone in terms of horse trading. The only way it is 2 with Houston and whoever is if the GOR is extended to match the ACC's. [/QUOTE]
