3. Relegation

Likelihood: 3.5

This might be OSU’s best option if the Pac-12, ACC or Big Ten don’t welcome its advances. It’s not a great option. It’s a terrible one, actually. But landing in C-USA or the American Athletic Conference at this point could be realistic. Finding any security seems like a better option than staying in none. Maybe some other Big 12 teams move as well to strengthen those leagues’ appearance overall. But doing so would be a significant blow to the athletic programs, to recruiting, and most importantly, financially.

I would honestly recommend you start preparing yourself for nothing good coming of this for us. 

I wish I could give you about a thousand downvotes, but unfortunately I tend to agree with you.

First, OSU (neither Ohio St, Oklahoma St, or Oregon St) is going to be moving to CUSA.

For what results from this recent upheaval we'll have to wait and see, as a lot depends on how quickly the Big 12 leftovers find new homes, if they can. They're all trying to immediately find P4 homes.

If the leftovers can't relocate on the same schedule as UT & OU, then they'll be forced to backfill the Big 12 with G5 schools like the Big East did.

Grab your popcorn as it'll be fun to watch. We're not a candidate for the Big 12, and we won't have a dog in this fight until the end when potentially more regionally based alignments are being formed amongst the non-P4 crowd.

It's all good. We're well prepared, and we have the right people steering the ship.

I find myself skeptical as well. Please for the love of god prove me wrong.

The Big 12 could expand to 12 teams after the big 2 depart. Offer Houston, smut, Memphis and Louisville and now there are 12. Perhaps then, we could slide into the AAC with the departure of the old nags along with Rice, UTSA and UTEP.

I think you may be right, ADLER.  
While other programs are being exposed for their true worth, North Texas is just going to keep growing (& building inside the Mean Green Village). 
 Cheers to ya’—in fact, cheers to all!

      Its a different story when you are comparing blue blood programs. Alabama can recruit anyone from anywhere. Memphis can't (and still won't despite a fairly impressive NIL commitment).

      UTSA absolutely does not have a better location. SA is not a great area for HS football talent and they do not have deep NIL pockets. They are maximizing their value and holding the programs to a high standard. Good for them. But if you poll the vast majority of G5 coaches/administrators on which program has a better foundation I'd argue most would lean towards UNT.

      LOL. SMU is small potatoes in why college athletics is in its current state. You really think SMU was even the most egregious cheater in the 80's halcyon days? Get real. Paying players is as old as the game itself. What has changed in the last 10-15 years is the amplification of money via social media as well as TV contracts that have ballooned raising everything from coaches salaries to facilities to yes.....NIL. Blaming SMU for anything to do with where things are headed in college athletics is beyond stupid. Everything that's being done now is being directed by the TV suits. Nothing more. Nothing less. You're letting hatred blind you.

      You're spot on. But the university has been playing into that hippy weird BS for a long time, too. And we can bring demographics into this, too. And for good or bad, I don't know; nor do I really care. But conservative white boys/men is the driving force behind the consumption of and donating base to collegiate athletics. The university goes out of its way to diversify the enrollment. Which is fine and all, but it's just another variable pulling away from athletics. And there seems to be a lot of variables, controllable and uncontrollable. Why do you think the SEC can whip whoever they want with money at a moments notice? Answer: White conservative men throwing money at their collectives and scholarship funds.

      That's like saying Alabama is still Alabama stuck in Tuscaloosa. There was and is zero value placed in the education these kids receive, the free housing, meals, tutoring, healthcare, etc... when less than 5% will earn money in professional sports once they are done in college. 99% of these young men and women should be picking a school that has the major of their choosing and that has a track record of preparing them for their life after sports. Too many people are telling these kids to get all the money they can right now with zero thought about their education and the life lessons that should be being taught at this time.
