“No decision has been made, and frankly, sitting here today, I’m not sure whether or not we have all the support we need to be able to [flip the calendar]. Though there’s momentum to try to get that done, there’s a lot of things that need to happen. We’ve got to figure out the commercial impact. We’ve got to get closer to researching our players to get a sense as to what their point of view is. We’ve got facility issues to look at. So my view is, if we can get this done, we’ll fully be able to capitalize on the momentum of the World Cup, and I’m not remotely concerned about it.”
