perceptions. Heck, there could be five or six schools "near the top" of the list. But, given Bartle's obvious agenda, he purposefully listed USC and Michigan (which indeed could be 2 of the 6 schools KT is considering), and purposefully left out BYU. He also may have left out other schools also, like an Oregon, for example. But, leaving out BYU, with all of the potential ties KT has to BYU and it's coaches, is just an indirect way to try and influence the narrative any way he can.
