No one who would sell their house would be bought out without having the ability to buy (or be automatically given) plots of land to build on.
The rumor on campus is that FIJI is trying to get a deal where the University buys the house, gives them a new plot of land, and builds the house. I don't know about that last part, but they wouldn't even consider selling if the University didn't relocate them.
xp2k is right- the University would rather be packed to the gills than cut down a tree. But sometime in the near future that's going to have to change.
If you look at the map that was posted you can see land for houses across from Sigma Delta Tau and Phi Kappa Sigma. That's the first area that will probably be cut down, especially because there was a really unfortunate alleged sexual assault in those woods earlier this year.

Other land would be next to Alpha Chi Omega, and across from Sigma Alpha Mu. There also might be room in the circle of Fishers Court by ADPi. There is also the option of buying out the Fellowship of Christian Students House which is on the corner of Fishers Court and Jordan Ave by Fee Lane, and the Evans Scholars House on North Jordan, noted on the map as an empty circle. Additionally the lot next to that is owned by Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It is unclear when they plan on rebuilding.
