...and to add to the corruption narrative, look at the composition of the committee. On paper, they appear OK
Seems they would be a good, objective group. There is little SEC and B1G representation. Leads one to believe something crazy is going on behind the scenes. Either a few people completely dominate it and the others cower in the corner (the chair is B1G), or there are some perverse incentives tied to eyeballs they get for the eventual games. Here's the committee.
