I was looking at the press release about the tenative approval the Management Council had given for 12 game seasons and noted the vote was 7-5 for I-AA.

Flipped over to the Board of Directors roster to get a feel for how it might go.

Alcorn State's President representing the SWAC and NW State's President I'd guess probably vote in favor.

Then I got suprise #1.
The Patriot League is represented by the president of American University. Thought it was a bit odd to see them hand their football fate over to the CEO of a non-football school but figured if they trust him that works.

Then I got suprise #2.
The A-10 is represented by the president of Dayton. Talk about a guy having a conflict of interest. Selected to represent the A-10, as CEO of a Pioneer League member has an obligation to work in their best interest as well.

Now I know the Pioneer and A-10 could well agree on everything but seems odd to place someone in that position.
