Surely, CM Newton doesn't have enough sway to override practically everyone else.

He doesn't. CM has been helping out. He's one of the few people associated with UA who have legit basketball contacts. CM reached out to Rick early on to help with our search. I'm pretty confident this was a scratch my back, scratch your's deal.

Richard Pitino being Plan B is pure speculation on my part. No merit to it IMO. If anything, it was, as stated above, a trial balloon in case the worst happens with Marshall. Our options are thin if we don't land him.
