I do not see the Umpires as having much say in the matter if both the owners and players union approve. If the owners and players Union approve then Bud wouldn't stand in the way.

I am not certain but if the GM's voted 25-5 then it stands to reason that for all practical purposes the owners have already given their vote of confidence.

Therefore, all that is left is for the players union to agree and then it is a done deal.
