Rice is allegedly still in the mix.  But they got zero votes here.  ECU got more votes, but they are out.

Doesn't look legit, unless this was just a quick straw poll before information gathering or something along those lines.

Same with Air Force

Crazy chart, looks like someone made it up because ECU is still on their along with Boise State.

" So with the in person B12 interviews coming up, do you think USF brings in some star power like Tony Dungy? I know he doesn't have very much affiliation with the school, however he was there for CWT's interview. "

Dickie V   (please don't censor)

Might also make them overlook basketball

TD is also good

Not to mention, if this were made as a "real" quick-reference sheet for reviewers, it would be ordered top to bottom so they wouldn't even have to see below, say, #6 or so.

If you disqualify teams with vetos it makes some sense.

Show up with a boatload of people prepared to do their 5 minutes:

Judy, Harlan, Higgins, Dungy, Vinik, Dickie V, Lamb, Buckhorn and a big donor like Muma.

Think that might be overkill?

If you're only allowed four, this would be a good group to have in the audience. Would have to buy Harlan some BULLS gear though. He doesn't seem to wear any very often.

With all due respect to Tony, he is not a compelling salesman.

With this kind of thing you leave it to the professionals.  Hopefully USF has a closer or knows a good one.  Those guys are just good endorsements as part of the slideshow or video they put together.

I know how I would pitch it but I am sure I am not on speed dial.

If it's four, you'd have to all but guarantee Judy and Harlan.  Judy has some cred as she has been on some big NCAA committees, so that's good.  Harlan would have to be a key speaker.  Higgins can sell ice to people in Alaska, so you'd want him if you can get him in there.  I also like the idea of Vinik if you can find an angle to work him in.  An alternative might be a guy like Derrick Brooks.

Brooks...yep that's good. And don't discount what Dungy brings--he immediately adds integrity to any equation.
