Its not going to be limited to 48. The mother of all antitrust lawsuits would be coming down the pike not to mention certain schools are tethered politically to some that would potentially be left out of your scenario. For example, the state of North Carolina just passed legislation that UNC and NC State are all but bound together at the hip and any attempt by UNC to leave NC State in the lurch could result in the loss of state funds. NC state politics are wild. You'll see similar bills passed into law in other states with potentially vulnerable schools.
The split will be the P4 from the G5. The only question is whether or not any of the top G5's are going to get the last call up. The problem for them is SMU has set the bar for entry at a financial level no school in the G5 can offer. That will be the opening asking price for any G5 to move up. Rice could do it if they cared about athletics (they don't). USF is intriguing b/c of AAU status and being in Tampa. SDSU is in a huge market but doesn't seem to have the financial commitment. Memphis is an academic dumpster fire but actually fits nicely into the Big 12 if they choose to expand.
Wait, you're telling me my asparagus is being grown on the moon??
Talk about wasteful bureaucracy...now we're using NASA to fly farmers into space (or did we create yet ANOTHER space farming organization?!). Are they using that new branch of the military, the "Space Force", to harvest these crops? And are we blowing taxpayer money to grow only asparagus? Shouldn't we be at least growing corn, carrots, or some other crop as well?
And are we even really on the moon when we're doing this farming? Is this yet another CGI lunar landing? Did we create another government bureaucracy to film this fake space farming?? How much is that costing?
OK, WAY over the top, but it at least it got your attention. It takes a lot to get the attention of North Texas fans......especially in the off season. AND at least four people liked it..😎
Seriously, the only thing that represents a "tradition" at NT is it's propensity for dealing with a problem by creating, (or allowing the creation of), some bureaucratic entity or group in which to pass the buck should someone have a complaint. And giving them the runaround is our most long-standing reaction to complaints/concerns.
Why do we need a new spirit group when there is one that already exists......The TALONS. Why don't the Talons recruit a group of "maniacs" into their organization and populate the same student section? It's my understanding that the Talons have a budget and are given money for their organization every year. The Talons are supposed to be in charge of spirit at North Texas. If they aren't getting that done, (and it's my assessment that they aren't), then GET SOMEONE IN THERE THAT CAN, AND KEEP THE NAME OF ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING STUDENT SPIRIT GROUPS IN OUR SCHOOL'S HISTORY.
Our mascot is the EAGLE. A group called the TALONS is the perfect name for an active student spirit organization.
