They're top 10 in overall revenue, have the booster support and can be considered a Texas school for recruiting purposes. I think they'll be just fine.
The biggest "flaw" probably is that their stadium is on the smaller side by SEC standards with "just" 80k.
Yeah, posted above, that was the only name I could think of
Their stadium is fine, lots of premium seating that brings in money and they did fit almost 90k in there before.
Nebraska had/has pretty much everything you listed except “considered a Texas school for recruiting”. I still feel like they’ll have to nail the hire. As we are seeing, OU recruits are committing to Riley, not OU.
But don't you think it's a rather big factor to be one of the top three schools "in Texas"?
I am also not sure whether you can say OU recruits are committing to Riley or whether it's SoCal OU recruits who are committing to Riley. Texas is, has been and will be their bread and butter and I think the OU brand factor will ensure they're just fine there.
Which is why ND is so in favor of expansion, specifically the 12-team format since that allows for more at-large bids and therefore independents. But another thing the proposed format calls for is that the top 4 seeds have to be a conference champ which of course means ND would never get a bye as long as they remain independent. They seem to be ok with this, along with getting less TV money to remain independent. At least for now.

You’re probably right. We’ll see which recruits stay on with OU and which go to SC or elsewhere.
I would argue that OKC is a lot better of a market than Lincoln and that doesn’t even take into account their presence in the best football market in the country with Dallas.
They totally might take a step back like Texas has the last few years, but at the end of the day I think the factors I outlined above will ensure they're gonna get it right again at one point.
I would actually go by cities. Dallas, houston, LA, Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans should be looked at as the best spots to recruit.
I know Riley is planning on bringing Alex Grinch along as his DC. Any chance OU offers Grinch the HC job? People seem to think he's on track to get a look for a HC job soon.
He is on the plane with him to LA.
That would be a pretty uninspiring move for the fanbase.
I know. I'm asking if anyone thinks that OU would consider Grinch for the HC job.
I think that ship has sailed so it's a moot point.
I wouldn't be too concerned about OU's ability to compete in the SEC. OU had a bumpy ride going from the Big 8 to the Big 12 and I think OU might endure one in the SEC even if Riley remained in Norman. I don't think this coaching move was avoidable by any means especially when the road to the CFP would be much easier at USC than what it will be for OU in the SEC.
I don't think Riley would have lasted much longer in Norman after the SEC move and I think Riley knew it too.

WTF?
Grinch isn't considered to be much of a recruiter. That will be a problem for him getting any P5 HC job, let alone OU.
Big Jim
WTF?
Sounds like a fit at CU.
Don't tease me.
