I by no means think that the community should just sit quite and wait until they have all the information - I'm sure some very valid points will be brought up between now and whenever 'then' is - but just keep in mind that 'TBD' doesn't mean no one has thought about it and it isn't 90% done, it just means they don't want to announce it to the public yet.
But we did have a valid and useful practice system by registration time with the PIC system. Given all the announced dates of "Well we'll definitely be done by kickoff" and less official statements of it could be ready by fall, and all the apparently undetermined logistical issues.... I'm somewhat doubtful that these TBD issues are 90% done. If they are and it's just going to take the next 8 months to work out these things... Well I think someone's trying a little too hard to stick to the 80-20 rule.
