After two weeks of furious negotiations and consultations with a team of investment bankers from Morgan Stanley, Redstone had produced a bid that was considered by many analysts to be not only anticlimactic but also inferior to Diller's current offer.

There is no proof that switching bus companies would have resulted in late buses or annoyed alumni (and possibly reduced donations).
