The problem is that we are currently using CAS as our SSO, and since
we are a large university invested in CAS, we cannot easily switch to
OpenID.  If we use OpenID, then a user would have to login to our
system using CAS, and if they wanted to login to gmail, then they
would have to authenticate with OpenID - this would sort of negate
single sign-on, since the user would have to login twice.  OAuth would
allow us to keep a token on our side, and the user would only need to
authenticate twice when they allow us access to their account using
OAuth.
