[QUOTE="Darth_VadEER, post: 129602633, member: 1536653"] I'd say we are both right. The conference probably handles the analytics, communication with media partners, requesting and accepting any required information from candidates, ect. More administrative matters. I also assume the conference works in a judicial role (like a judge in litigation), urging presidents to what's best for the conference, finding common ground, knowing what's most important to each school, ect. I'll just say this, if I wanted to bribe someone, it sure wouldn't be the Commissioner, ya dig? The presidents have been lobbied, so they know where they sit going in. When WVU joined, it was a one step process. The B12 needed a member, that wasn't up for debate. Now it's different. It's a two step process...convincing schools to expand, then which schools to expand with. IMO, this is why I wasn't thrilled with the Bowlsby selection. I knew expansion was going to be an ongoing issue and wanted someone more battle test - such as Oliver Luck. [/QUOTE]
