"As I wrote, this group needed "to flip" the presidents at Michigan and Wisconsin to agree to play, or the new format wouldn't be feasible. If either of those school's presidents, or both, refused to budge and made that clear to their athletic directors within the last "24 to 48 hours," then Smith's efforts concerning the new plan went nowhere and died.
And that gives him plausible deniability that he needs that it is not happening as of today. After all, he would never admit to organizing such a bold plan behind the scenes, have it eventually go nowhere, and then admit to it publicly -- especially with so much at stake.
I had reached out to him several times for comment on Tuesday and he did not respond."
Snook is sticking to his guns, though it seems like the plan (assuming it is real) has or is falling apart. I give it until Friday before I lose what little hope I have.
