I guess the main problem is that you have to "sell that idea to [your] 
administration."  We don't.  

Each faculty member is free to choose his or her own textbooks.  In 
courses with multiple sections taught by many instructors, there are 
some who attempt to come to a common consensus as to which text 
to use, but it is not mandatory.

In our department, however, the full-time faculty do select a single 
textbook for all of our part-time faculty so that it minimizes ordering 
problems through our bookstore, especially if there are any changes 
in teaching assignments.

Good luck in "selling it" though,
Don
