Random thoughts on the OMG with utterly no sources to cite:
1, My belief is the OMG is two-year holder for CJ before it heads back to the Big 8.
2, The key for CJ going back to the Big 8 lies with Nevada and McDonald County. If those two member schools sell the rest of the conference into letting them back in, it might happen. And yes, I'm aware of and was told about the burning bridges during the Big 8 to the COC transition, however, if there are changes in administration and leadership, this could also factor into Big 8 member schools administration looking to rebuild the burnt bridge.
3, There is a growing (by the week I may add) sentiment in this community for CJ to return to the Big 8 Conference. The conversations and excitement from fans and community members about the opportunity to play Seneca again (a series that dates back to AT LEAST 1921 by my research) says everything about how the community feels about the Big 8, whether its the older members of the community or the newer members who have spoke with those about the past.
4, I think Parkview and Central will eventually join the OMG, especially should CJ go home to the Big 8.
