Interesting data - albeit this is only one year's worth. Didn't I read where Liberty would have been the G5 CFP representative had the 12-team setup been in place in 2023? With an average TV viewership of 21,000? 4th worst in the country and well below any of the MW.

Aside from surprising CSU (thanks to their rivalry game with Colorado), the MW's numbers are pedestrian, but not THAT horrible. Well OK Nevada and Utah State were horrible. But 5 MW teams, including UNLV, drew more than ACC-bound SMU. And CSU drew (way) more than 4 of the Pac-12 traitors and by my count 16 other P4 teams. OSU was a surprising 1.74M and WSU was 1.08M.

Looking at 2014 schedules: uw, Stanford, Oregon, Cal (and WSU and OSU) all play Big Sky teams. You guys play Utah Tech from the all over hell FCS conference. The Pac-12 traitors out West also play multiple MW teams as usual. Oregon-BSU, Cal-SDSU, UCLA-Hawaii and Fresno, Stanford-SJSU, FUSC-Utah State.

So who the hell cares and what's the point? Well, in my seemingly fleeting desire for the reverse merger, and after we wash the bitterness out of our mouths, it would make sense for all involved if the traitors replaced their Big Sky games with more PacWest (we'll call it that for this discussion) games. More fan interest and SOS for the traitors, better paydays for the PacWest teams and better SOS. Everybody wins.

There's more but I'll stop here for now.

Anybody knows what getting rid of Title IX means for college athletics?

In the past, sometimes it was difficult for non-big schools to compete, because essentially you needed to add women’s sports so that the number of men’s schollies was essentially equal to the number of women schollies. And when you have football; you gotta add a lot of women’s sports to make up for the difference. It’s why you might see Women’s Track and Field and Women’s soccer and Women’s Swimming, for example, without seeing counterpart men’s teams.

Does this mean D1 colleges can dump some of the dead weight women’s teams that are just money pits?

I think it’s a bad decision, but understand the politics (I don’t agree with them at all, biologically born men shouldn’t be playing women’s sports, no ifs ands or buts about it for me).

If it wasn't already time, this should be it.

A certain team in scarlet and gray gets a couple mentions on this list. A couple notes regarding other MW teams: Note A) BYU-Wyoming: They mention how Provo is a tough place to play, yet the game is in Laramie (Go Pokes!) and, Note B) BSU at Oregon isn't mentioned, yet in the separate B1G vs P4 write-up, it gives the Broncos a 'warm' upset chance, which I think is better than Hawaii's chances vs UCLA.

College Football News

Enough said. Celtics nugs should be a nice boring finals.

I'm on the Lobos basketball forum and the discussion comes up.

Who is the better PG. Dedan Thomas Jr. or Donovan Dent of New Mexico is in the MW?

So, I make my case over there for Dedan and his credentials are so much better than Dent in HS.
Plus, Dedan should be a true freshman in college now.
Of, course ALL the Lobo posters think, Donovan Dent is the better PG than DT is.
I do like Donovan Dent as a PG. Just, think DT has a much higher ceiling.
What are you guys thoughts, on who the better PG is?
Or, is it even a question?

Who’s drinking the punch..?

Don’t normally comment on stuff like this.. But Wadddilove all over X, claiming he expects the Rebs are tourney bound..

I’ve learned over the years.. You can’t have blinders on.. Especially when you haven’t seen GAME REPS/OR it happen in a DECADE.. I don’t know if he is looking for likes, etc.. But I’m sorry, having that assessment on the current roster, you don’t know basketball, you just don’t..

Covering the Rebs & having that take is wild to me.. Anyway, I digress..

There seems a BIG difference between FB and BB! I cant put my finger on it! Login to view embedded media

This confirms my worries CKK does not have the faith or support with NIL money to get us where we CAN be. Not saying the same as a Kansas or Kentucky, but definitely more than this! Thomas also supposedly got 400k plus. This according to Mathis? The NEWS guy for UNLV .I hope it was not 500k total and DJ got 400k of it. Hopefully DJ got a special bonus of sorts. If not we are screwed. Login to view embedded media

Do you guys think DJ Thomas is going to come back for his sophomore year? What new players are coming in for next season?

They play tonight!!!

They play tonight. Should be lots of fun because we got the pieces in place!!

Sounds like Rienhardt part Deux.

over the past week, ten days, I’ve been swamped by texts from people wanting to know how bad they should worry. A few threads about it here with comments, texts from people here, family, etc. Even in public, I’ve been asked by people I know.

I’m not a doctor but obviously I’m in a closely related field and have access to information regarding it.

My take is similar to what is in this claim - at this point in time - but this is a novel virus, so I’m positive thoughts will change and maybe very drastically, so keep that in mind. It can get worse if we aren't careful and I don't believe we are prepared for worse. I came across it just a few minutes ago, looks like it’s been out there for awhile, but I believe it to be succinct enough and spot on FOR RIGHT NOW. If it worsens, it could potentially be a life altering event most of us have never experienced. Viruses are nasty, nasty, nasty

If you are interested, take a look.

Like recruiting, this could change 180 degrees at the drop of a hat.

Also per Lobby on twitter, Michigan WR transfer Christian Dixon visited UNLV this past weekend. Didn't say anything about the chances of landing him.
