Here's the whole story of how the coming out happened, the logistics, agents (all you need to know about how it was set up and why it happened when it did): LINK

Yes the timing was intentional but not for the reasons anyone supposes and the time frame was affected by the fact that everyone already knew and so they had to speed things up or someone would've broken the story before they got to break it on his terms. Sam wanted to come out from the start. It wasn't a matter of marketing but a matter of what Sam wanted to do.

Yeah, once he told his teammates at Mizzou it was definitely going to come out whether he wanted it to or not.

From the article.



So his timing was disrupted. So what? It had been his idea anyway. Screams marketing ploy or a desire to become a gay icon.
