I think those Feaster years and some of those moves should be viewed as a management by committee era with King pulling most of the strings.

The fact that it was King who was blubbering to the media after the ROR deal went pear shaped signals to me he was deeply into the action.
What you say is possible, even probable, but I don't know if they would have bee comfortable with those massive moves and then turn around to veto relatively lesser deals that make more sense. Either the philosophy changed or ownership wasn't heavily involved at the time that you say they were. Besides, Feaster did most of his own defending on the ROR deal, saying their interpretation of the rules should have been the correct one.
