UNLV merch!!

I'm going to disagree with all of you on the hoodie. I do despise the gray hood, but I'm a sucker for a classic hockey diagonal design. Some jersey designs are just classic and need to be used at all costs. The diagonal hockey sweater, the horizontal stripe/hoop soccer kit, or white with thin pinstripes (any sport).

Hawaii

LV Review Journal article today says talks are still going on with Hawaii regarding joining as a full member. They may be taking a slow path as they hold all the cards and they want a larger share of the pie than that 5% they were given.

Gloria had better not **** this up. We need Hawaii and if we dick around too long don't be surprised to see the PAC start calling them. I don't know how solid the Hawaii commitment to the MW is.
To the Hawaii AD - "We will throw in an extra night at the Cal each time you come to Las Vegas."

Hawaii AD - "Brah!!! You've got a deal!"

UNLV @ USU

Technically Boise could drop a game or 2 as well, but they play a soft schedule this year, like Charmin soft... even their non conference outside Oregon was weak and they're balancing out by saying the Pac 2 teams are better than average G5 schools...I don't see them dropping another game.. personally I think having them be a top 15 team at home woth a CFP birth on line would be much more to our benefit because teams get really tight under that pressure late in seasons.. remember what Reno did to Boise like 10 years ago.. ruined their BCS buster

Depending what happens ahead of them the next 2 weeks UNLV could get back into top 25 with wins over USU and OSU. (Hate looking ahead like that)

Would make that Boise State game massive...

UNLV @ USU

Gotta beat BSU at home and earn the home field for the MWCC (at I think that’s how it works??)

How the MW is making payments to us

So let's talk the Pac 12 agreement..
Buyout is ridiculous 30 million for a P4, 40 million plus remainder of media contract I think for other..
Teams keep 50% of their NCAA units- that's at least 1 million a unit for basketball and 3 million for CFP...
When they get to 8 teams here's how I see their breakdown...
I can't see the NCAA committee awarding more than 4 bids to their conference... I'm booking SDSU, Gonzaga, and Boise taking auto and 2 at large bids, so you're talking 1 bid between USU/CSU/WSU/OSU, excluding Fresno because they're awful...
Football I still think Boise is heads and tails above everyone else and the rest are going to be average G5 programs- thats their historical averages.. should Boise qualify for CFP they could get an extra 4 million a yr minimum in payouts so no wonder why they jumped at the opportunity, that's much sweeter than current deal with MWC. I think the NCAA units were used to entice Gonzaga and SDSU.. I have 0 clue why Utah St wants into that mess. They are going to become irrelevant really fast, sorry but I just don't see them qualifying every yr like the currently are. And Fresno... That's one I just don't get
