One more thing.

We are making the assumption here that the reason there is no commissioner yet is because there is conflict within the conference (The Georgetown camp v. the Marquette camp) that is preventing this from happening. It could simply be that there is no consensus about the candidates brought forward. If they are looking for a "media guy," Gavitt isn't going to fit that. And Zaninovich might be considered too "small time," for what they are looking for.

I think we are falling a little bit into a "chicken little" mode about this. That we get these breathless reports from Ajerseyguy that say "such and such is happening...and this is bad," and we buy into it without questioning whether such and such *is* actually happening...and whether or not it actually is bad.
