IF REMAINING MWC TEAMS WERE SMART

The PAC TV deal for 2026 is not even in place, nobody has any idea what that equates to 2 years down the road. Where is the $10MM coming from?

All the P12 is, is a brand name. I mean I get what you're saying, but it's not as strong nationally as you think. We all know most of the rest of the USA thought the previous P12 was ass already and now it has a bunch of MWC and AAC teams with Wazzu and Oregon State? Meh.

There is also no reasonable assumption UNLV's going to stick it out in the MWC.
If our tv numbers really are as bad as reported, we may seriously be in trouble. I think we may need a reality check to stay humble

Odom finishes strong and we are looking?

There's some truth to that, but it would depend on the next hire. It's certainly good that the bar is raised significantly at UNLV, so hopefully, if he did go, we'd be able to get a replacement coach like him. But there's no guarantees. I'd rather keep Odom for 2-3 more years, min, if he's going to depart. Unfortunately for us, the deep pockets of the SEC/B1G, etc, don't care what we think.
And we the internet posters dont care about anything but money?

So far the former Navy coach, which I won't even attempt to spell his name, is doing a really good job at SJSU. Former Coug QB Emmitt Brown isn't very tall, 5'10" I believe, but has a decent throwing arm. He can scoot if he has to. Very scrappy player. Their star receiver Nash is his go to guy. Nash a top receiver in the MW imo. Their defense has one DB that his name escapes me at the moment that plays like our LB Woodard. Don't underestimate this team. They play well but, they got their hands full vs WSU.
Who have they played? I'll wait... an over rated AFA team and 2 State teams that aren't States? About as light a schedule as you can go so far

Short term thinking... if Odom makes us relevant as he has so far, you guys think it's just over after he leaves? Nah, we get a pocket full of cash and are very desirable for the next coach...

If that's the case that's wild... I think behind the scenes if I was Memphis, I'd be talking to UNLV and trying to package ourselves to the Big 12 together. We're both critical to any of the 3 conferences being legit... why not band together and try and upsale ourselves... heck the Big 12 could do a 4 team expansion with 2 football/basketball combos and Gonzaga/UCONN... they aren't getting ACC teams anytime soon as it appears they're holding themselves together. So why wait to get poached when you can solidify yourselves with the last 2 best remaining future football programs and 2 premier basketball teams as well...

Shifting gears a bit, I'm sure you all will be glued to the set tonight (7PM Pacific, 3-0 WSU vs 3-0 SJSU in Pullman, The CW network). Game is apparently a near sellout. Friday night in Pullman, the fans will be juiced. Worth watching simply to see all the coed camera shots. Looks like the marquee game for the MW this weekend. You guys and SDSU both have byes I guess?

All I'm saying is if UNLV is beating SDSU later in the season.

1- Run up the score if possible. I'm talking up 28 with 5 minutes left...Play action passes. Reverses. You absolutely bury them.

2- Same scenario crowd must begin a chant of 'Meet the metrics' in response to SDSU president saying we didn't 'meet the metrics.'
To be fair, I wanted to beat sdsu 75-0 before all of this. But to your point, lets aim for over 100. Lets give Ricky White video game numbers.

There are so many "what if" scenarios right now, who really knows. I guess if it came down to it, the PAC could add 2 crappy schools if needed, just to get to 8 teams. Then, once the new MWC media agreement gets worked out, with teams getting less money, I would think that the MWC would amend the exit fees, as they're not in line with the amount of money that the conference is bringing in, then teams could bounce after that.

SJSU lost both of their coaches and starting QB. You will beat them. They are not at UNLV level.

There is another way to look at it. If UNLV continues to improve, then Washington State and Oregon State will never get a sniff of the playoffs!

This is true.

But money creates ceilings for schools and their ability to compete.

It becomes more and more difficult over time to keep pace.

Can UNLV do well in a CUSA or an AAC? 100%.

But over time if they aren't getting the same revenue as other G5 programs through media deals they are at a disadvantage.

We all saw how long it took and how hard it's been for UNLV to turn the corner in football.

I don't think ending up in a lesser conference (potentially) than we are now some how catapults the program forward.

Well since we (WAZZUWATCH) haven't had an Admin or moderator for years, I doubt that. The last Admin we had banned me 5-6 years ago for some unseemly posts towards another poster (he got banned too) so I lurked around for years and then reinvented myself as Loyal Coug1.

Try again. If you are logged in to Rivals, you should be fine. In desperation, make your post here and have Meister copy and paste/post on your behalf. Would love to see some of you guys converse with the gang of ostrich heads I have to try to reason with. :)
Maybe I'll try logging out entirely, then back on directly in the Wazzu site. Just have to make sure I remember my password ...
