Unlv was pretty pretty good under my guidance.
Do you really believe that any of the conferences would come onto social media to let everyone know what is going on?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.
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.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.
A Board member. What Board? The Nevada Regents?A board member I spoke with who supposedly got info from someone involved.
Good lord let's not even think we would go to CUSA.
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).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.
Good lord let's not even think we would go to CUSA.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.
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.
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.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?
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.

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.
Not really.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 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...
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?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?
ESPN will let us know.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?
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.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.
