A reverse merger and Gloria's idea about relegation and promotion to reward the better schools and make the poorer schools earn it would have kept a lot of money in your pockets. Theresa never would bring up the idea of relegation and promotion because Gloria thought of it first.

I am really curious to see how the UNLV run defense will do against the BSU run gam and Jeanty?

Here I am. Fire away.

I don't even have much commentary. Jeanty kicked our ass singlehandedly. One play - he runs straight into our D lineman, just bounces off of him and tears downfield. Their blitzes killed us obviously. We had no answer. Our too-young O-Coordinator sucks. Mateer didn't play too bad, but couldn't get rid of it when blitzed (his fault or WR or both?) and we tried way too many runs up the gut by him and our RBs. Thankfull a week off before playing Fresno. I hear that they are really good.

Nope. Teresa Ghoul is still being lauded by the Cougar pundits. I am in the minority who thinks she sucks and botched this thing bigtime.

UNLV has an average of 4 sacks per game putting them at #2

Boise State has an average of 5 sacks per game putting them at #1 (7 sacks verse Washington State)

35 to 40k Would be bigger or as big as a number of schools that recently made the jump to P4 conferences. Smu/Cincy. 40k puts you right on par with Universty of Houston another recent P4 invite.

I agree, UNLV needs to get more aggressive in tix pricing.

No matter how good UNLV gets avg 45k or more will be difficult.

Houston had good teams in the past. Has bigger population. And even when they had that solid run with Herman not so long ago topping 40/45k was difficult.

My point is if UNLV would have had an on campus stadium years ago attendance numbers likely would have been better. Just take Rebel Net, you saw how many people bitched and moaned about Sam Boyd and how far it was and used it as an excuse not to go.

We hosted teams like Wisconsin, Iowa State, Kansas State, UofA in the past at Sam Boyd.

A nice shiny new 35-40k on campus stadium would have been fine.

Seriously?

I mean if you guys circle back and get Memphis maybe.

But if it ends up a UTEP/NMSU or TEXAS STATE I can't imagine that's what they had drawn up.

A smaller stadium wouldn't give UNLV the ability to draw major teams, and would make it much more difficult to ever get into a power conference. UNLV now needs to take advantage of the stadium and get more future opponents like ULCA and Arizona State. I would love UNLV to work more into lower level SEC, Big 10 and mid level Big12 teams in the future. UNLV just needs to make it a priority to get casinos to buy cheaper tickets in bulk to give out employees, and to push discount tickets to school students and their families to build up a future following. Also need to get the owners of the luxury boxes to show up in bigger numbers and get vested in the college team.

My estimate would have been around 3000 Fresno fans. But, in truth, nobody really travels well in the MW. I think Hawaii is the best opponent attended football game. When I go to opponent games you usually can't identify more that 1000 Rebel fans.

When you set back and reflect on what has happened over the last month so with the PAC 2 it’s no surprise that it all ended for the PAC 12. Their leadership is very questionable. First, the total settlement with the departing schools left OSU and WSU flush with approximately $255 mill to split between them. Any university can do a lot with an approximately $120 mill plus in a windfall to their athletic department. So instead of the reverse merger and using the funds to strengthen their own athletic departments, they raid the MWC in an attempt to break it up. But they failed. So instead of a reverse merger and requiring new members to make significant infrastructure improvements and mandatory minimum athletic department budgets, they don’t even invite the top 4 programs and then out of desperation they offer USU (who has to pay its own exit fee). So now the PAC owes the MWC (their competitors) approximately $90 mill in exits fees and potentially another $45 mill in poaching penalties. Thats a truely remarkable turn of events. Now the MWC can use the PAC 2’s money to strengthen it’s athletic programs

Trending up: Underpaying your QBs

Just days after UNLV starting QB Matthew Sluka left the team amid an NIL dispute, suggesting he had been promised $100,000 but paid just $3,000, the Rebels took the field and looked like they might have overpaid Sluka by $3,000.

Hajj-Malik Williams stepped in to start and tossed three touchdown passes and ran for another while accounting for 301 total yards of offense in a 59-14 win over Fresno State.

It's an important lesson for everyone to know their worth. If you've ever called out of work because there was still beer left in a keg and it was getting warm, you're probably replaceable. If you've ever taken a Zoom from the bathroom, you're almost certainly replaceable. If you've ever completed just 43% of your throws through three games, you're without a doubt replaceable. And if someone promised you six figures and you didn't get it in writing, honestly, you're probably replaceable.
