Could it be they wanted the herd to increase so Alt could use that to sell his plan?
Apology accepted.
I'd really like to see where it was ever said that the season couldn't be extended. I really cant recall ever hearing that.
As for 98 and 99 I couldn't guess what was in the decision making process but I doubt that your Alt conspiracy theory was the reason. Those that opposed him then for the most part were already the ones that had complained virtually since the first bonus tag was issued. There would have been little effect either way form what you suggest.
