Given all of the information, this is just as plausible as any other scenario.

Regardless of outcome, one thing for sure, the B12 is putting on a demonstration of how not to conduct conference expansion.

So your theory is Tigers so far ahead of the pack they don't have to go through the presentations all of the other candidates do?

Nope, not my theory, just a possibility.

It would be a tremendous challenge for any other candidate to put together a $1bil corporate sponsorship package on 6-8 weeks notice to match the offer FedEx has on the table.

Me dating Michelle Pfeiffer is a possibility but I'm not counting on it.

RE: Two UofM articles in the CA today
No one has even confirmed there are presentations. And no one has confirmed any cut list. Calkins and crew just took McMurphy's word, which has not been corroborated by any other source. I'm not saying we are in. But we are no further out than we were before McMurphy's tweet. Someone with a reputation should tweet we are a finalist just to see what happens.

That's on you, then, lol. Not sure anyone here is counting on it. I'm not counting on being eliminated either.

Being an optimist is not without it's risks, soul crushing disappointment and let down among them.

Better than always believing the worst. It's all just perspective. Generally, reality usually lies somewhere in the middle.
