Neutrino oscillations have been observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and in the LSND accelerator experiment. The Standard Model cannot accommodate all three positive results. The solar and atmospheric results have been confirmed. An oscillation signal seen by MiniBooNE will validate the oscillation signal seen by LSND. The question then becomes one of refining the Standard Model to allow for these three results. Four theories which can accommodate all three oscillation observations are the existence of sterile neutrinos, CP violation, the existence of variable mass neutrinos, and small Lorentz violations. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), located at Oak Ridge Laboratories, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, will provide an ideal site to test these hypotheses. The SNS, due to turn on in 2008, will supply a high intensity neutrino source of known flux and energy spectrum. This source permits experiments to probe the high delta-m^2 region for measurements, where a positive signal from MiniBooNE would lie.
