I would almost argue the best thing for us outside of the Big 12 (highly unlikely) and PAC would be to go independent, continue to build up our value and see how things shake out. Creating a new conference with schools left out of other expansions could be an option.

That road is very difficult (especially filling out a schedule) and is highly unlikely to happen, but if the ACC crumbles, it could be the best overall scenario.

Like it or not this was well coordinated and is likely further along than any of us think or know.

Whether UNLV is included in any plans is the biggest question mark.

I think people are really underselling WAZZU and OSU. There is a huge gap between even the 7 mil that the AAC and the 30 mil that the PAC had an offer for before they broke up.
They are big state schools with strong followings.
They aren't worth 30 mil, but it doesn't mean that they are worth 3 either.
The MW, AAC, and CUSA all have a lot of fat. The PAC is cutting out the fat and are targetting schools that will get them to the minimum requirement while maximizing payouts.
So if the PAC is truly targetting memphis and Tulane, that means they are worth it, and expect to get well north of 7 mil per school with their inclusion.

I think UNLV and AF going into the AAC will help keep the media rights revenue at $7 million. Seems to me you're trading schools with similar value.

I think thats what most of these G5s are really looking at in the future. I still dont see how the Pac 12 thinks its getting an AAC level pay out. If you're a TV media group, why are you paying that... What product are you really getting besides the limited name recognition Boise may bring and SDSU may bring. does Tulane and Memphis really draw the dollars? Who are they talking with that they're being sold a huge payday? Or is it simply their way of dismantling the MWC while keeping their cash and ditching a few mediocre programs in their wake because we had the stuff to tell them, you're over rated and need us...

Someone had posted in another thread about recording UNLV's games, even if you're going, since that would technically show up in the media results. I think that's a great idea. Personally, I already have all of the UNLV (basketball and football) games set to record. However, if we could get a bunch of local residents to do the same, that could bump up the media numbers significantly. I mean, ideally, people would tune in and support UNLV, but this would still be helpful to the program.

So I thought I'd start this thread to throw out ideas of how to support UNLV in this digital age.

1. Cable - Set your TV to record all UNLV athletics events
2. Instagram - follow all official UNLV accounts, and interact with them. View the posts, like them, share them, etc.
3. X (Twitter) - same as on instagram

How can we get more 'impressions' and build up a bigger following than UNLV currently has?

You would think that's the case unless you were those 2 programs and worried that your conference was one raid away from looking like the MWC is right now... Falling apart without a real outlook for improvement.
I do wonder as the pieces move again, do existing TV contracts get pulled? Like the AAC's contract was written when there was more heavy hitters there, now you pull away their top brands why would the existing contract not be required to be revisited. Is 7 million dollars even a realistic expectation for say UNLV or an AFA to be looking at moving over there if the true brands responsible for that number to begin with are gone?

The current AAC was able to mitgate their hit to their contract when they lost Houston, Cincy, SMU, UCF, etc by offering the replacement schools less money. So the leftovers were able to keep their 7 mil a piece.

However, they are on shaky ground, because Memphis and Tulane are on deck for being poached again. If that were to happen, the remaining schools would not be able to afford their 7 mil a year, so that will likely drop as well

Also, I think it is reasonable to infer that if the PAC is going after Memphis and Tulane, they are expecting offer more than the 7 mil they are currently getting. Right? It would not be worth it just to match, they would have to exceed that number especially considering travel.

I don't think that the MW could entice any legacy AAC school. Not enough money for that.

I can see a potential merger if the AAC gets raided as well.

I don't think the fees for CUSA would be much, since these are based off of contract worth, and they don't get that much currently. it is worth 750k pre school annually and they are in year 3 of a 5 year contract

I can't remember who it was but we were trying to sub and we weren't going to have enough time so our right DE just fell to the ground. Woodward picked him up and luckily Kansas was slow to get the play in....they false start anyway.

I watched 3 quarters of the Fresno game. They're good. That will be a tough win for us. A larger crowd would obviously help. The bye is going to help us. Our improved defense is going to help us. If we try to run 75% of the time there will be a lot of 3 and outs. Passing the ball will be a must. I do think Keene is turnover prone. We will need to force him into throws he doesn't want to make. I do like our front 7 to do that.

New Mexico State stinks, as does Liberty.

We need players to keep flopping on the field to garner national attention...also, bad beats.

Sadly, that's the only way to get impressions, nationally. Need it done in 30 second clips.
