MichSt vs BAMA in the final.

MichSt wins title. Izzo retires. State hires Nate Oats.

Worst case scenario is during discovery Oats gets implicated for aiding and abetting/attempting to cover for Miles and gets indicted as an accessory

I dont get these Oats rumors, he has no reason to leave a program he built into a powerhouse. Only possible reason would be if he doesn't believe Bama will dedicate enough NIL for basketball to keep the program on top long run

This is most likely the biggest reason. No chance Bama prioritizes hoops over the pigskin. Ohio State had both going really well under Thad Matta 15 years ago, but football always wins out, unless you’re Duke or UNC or Michigan State. Oats could want to go where basketball is king. Who knows for certain?

This is a lie. You know damn well that worst case scenario for both AU and bama is to lose to the other in the championship game

Its not just NIL but the AD revenue sharing splits, which Bama is certainly prioritizing to football (as they should)

Really the only schools that have the war chest to try and be elite in both FB and BB (if they wanted to) are Texas, OSU, and Michigan. OSU has an insane number of scholarship teams though so even they would probably have to cut down. shite just costs a lot now
