I'm quite certain that Andy, Mark, and the folks at FIRST do not collude in such a manner. Leave that to Congress.

Not that I'm debating your point, but there is some logic behind connecting AM's new Pneumatic wheel to the 2012 Game.
In 2009, when everyone was forced to use the same wheel, AM built a custom wheel and was the sole supplier for it.
That being said, there has been a market in FRC for Pneumatic wheels since the pre-alliance days. Coming out with a pre-hubbed easy to use Pneumatic Wheel is just good business.
