Bottom line is money. It doesn't matter what conference UNLV belong to. If UNLV draw 50k per game at Allegiant and winning all or most of the games. UNLV will make money. That is all that matter. BIG, SEC, Big 12 are all about money. If UNLV can make money within the MWC equivalent to the P2 conferences, why would we worry about which conference UNLV is belong to?

This is why we should root for Boise as UNLV fans. Maybe not root, but at least want them to win.

If it is true that adding relatively low buyout clause was a must for his contract it means he will bolt just like Odom at the first p4 opportunity.
Which is fine. You still do what you can to get him here. Just know, like so many players, he is likely a rental.

Retaining him will be the issue.

You do realize that 401K plans have annual contribution limits and are for people who have jobs. Not saying your NIL boosters couldn't set them up as employees, but you can't just drop $250K into an employees' 401K plan.

He is a dime a dozen as far as kickers are concerned. Not too worried about replacing him.

People like to take things to extremes when they disagree. I said he was 'underwhelming' for an 11-3 team who barely missed out on the CFB playoffs as their QB1 from the portal. He doesn't suck. He's OK. Also the stats of his backup in the last game resemble, basically his stats as a starter, so that proves nothing. I honestly think Friel would push him and likely win the QB1 spot, if he were to return.

Remember the portal also opens back up around spring camp time when dudes start to realize they aren't going to start, looking for other options.

That's actually an interesting way to increase NIL payouts without maxing out yearly funds... paying into a retirement account for players over many years... so instead of say one 5 million dollar player you can get 10 5 million dollar players with 500k deals where half goes to stipend and half to 401ks...

I like that the auto bids go to conference champions because it somewhat punishes super conferences. Chase the money that's cool, but there are consequences too.

His mom was the coach of UNLV women’s volleyball like 10 years ago. I was at an event and kept messing with her that she shouldn’t have been allowed on our campus.

Unless you’re heading to a P4 that’s in the top 25, why would you leave UNLV given the trajectory of the program and the national coverage it’s received? Outside of a personal relationship such a decision would seem questionable.
