Unlv & Air Force in contact w/AAC

Don't give SJSU shit for their stadium. It's been undergoing renovation for years. You think it's easy building on a major fault line.

I jest. I don't know if there is a fault line there. But, they did spend $70 million on renovation.

Just for the sake of saying it, I like what sjsu has done/is doing with their stadium. Only went for one UNLV game and boy did it feel empty. They recognize that, upgrade facilities, do something unique, and create false demand by limiting ticket numbers. Not bad actually!

I think we should be starting all sorts of rumors and then letting the smoke fuel the rumor of a fire... Let just throw out baseless rumors about UNLV to the Big 12.... Reddit, X, flood the Big 12 discord.... "did you hear the rumor that UNLV was going to the Big 12.. terms are still being discussed but they're taking a 2/3rds payout for 5 years and then full payout moving forward.. Cant wait for Vegas trips--sign each one with a random account name like #1 Baylor fan..."

On a similar note, my neighbor's daughters' friend said Haitians ate her cat.

Just funning. The six-Pac needs to cut the deal to get up to 8. F- Tulane and Memphis and anyone else east of Mountain time. Get UNLV and whoever else. AF, Wyoming in desperation UNR or UNM. Wish I could say SJSU but with their f-ed stadium and lack of interested fans they suck other than location. BUT if they have a plan to build up their stadium, and being in the same market with disinterested CalFurd, maybe they are a viable option. We just need to get to 8 and take a deep breath.

IF REMAINING MWC TEAMS WERE SMART

LOL. I think that is our floor. I really don't think the MW full dissolves, unfortunately. If by some miracle that happens, then I think we get upgraded.

I think possibly the worst case is staying MW, and rebuilding with some CUSA teams and maybe some FCS.
Slightly better than that would be merging with the CUSA. Just because we will hold on to more money that way.
Better than that will be merging with the AAC, but that seem unlikely, unless they really get gutted.
Joining the AAC? maybe better than that. Depending on what is left of the AAC. It would really tax us with the travel. Having more than one other regional partner would be better. But honestly not sure if it would be financially better. If we stay in the MW we are getting 15 mil. more if More if AFA bolts.

I really don't see a scenario where we just join the CUSA.

Well let's hope so because Conference of United Mountains

CUM12 would be awful!

(I apologize in advance for going for such low hanging fruit. I'm actually ashamed).

I know we were hoping that we were the ones that said no, but I never thought that was the case. And outside of this board, I haven’t seen anywhere that the AAC is talking about us, much less the Big 12. Hope I am wrong and we can land on our feet somewhere, but it is a little concerning that we weren’t talked about much and are considered as no more than a plan B option. Of course decades of ineptitude does tend to do that.

Well if MWC decides to hold together and merge with CUSA and UNLV doesn't find a landing spot.

Welcome to The Conference Of United States of American Mountains

COUSAM 12

For short.

The only independent that has a shot at the playoff is ND. I think the autobid for the g5 spot goes to a conference champion. I could be wrong.
I know that OSU and WAZZU are not eligible for that spot this year. They have to be at least top 11 to get in this year.
Click to expand...
No you are not wrong. Top 5 league champions get auto bids. Which means G5. WSU's only chance is to run the table and get an at-large bid. Highly unlikely. Now ask me again in 3 weeks. If we beat BSU and Fresno, our chances get better (but still dim).

I think we are at least still in the mix, but perhaps not worth the additional nearly 30 mil that would come with a 5th MW school. At least not yet. If they get desperate and teams turn them down, I think they come back to UNLV.

Regardless its not great.

If they deplete the AAC then the MWC should try and hold out and poach best options available.

I'm not being hyperbolic but if we were in CUSA I'm not sure I would care all that much anymore.

How to increase UNLV's digital footprint

Meister_Rebel said:
All I have is a streaming option. Using HULU Live TV do they have a way of counting who is watching the game via a stream?
Click to expand...
I'm not sure. I'm sure there are some tech guys around here the could provide some more insight though. I know there was a guy that was converting a lot of the old Rebel bball games to digital that I think worked in programming. Can't remember his name of the top of my head though.
