How do you take a deal and not sign a contract before enrolling? Business 101
What an idiot. And he got a degree?

This whole NIL thing is confusing. It's not really well defined, and is different from state to state it seems. Some saying you can't have an agreement in place until your on campus, others saying that's not true. IDK. I'm not even sure if the universities know exactly how it all works. Leaves a lot to be desired which will definitely result in confusion and misunderstandings between the schools/NIL/players.

UNLV Exploring Options After USU Joins PAC

Ok so let me ask this.

Why is the conference not already dissolved?

We are at 7 technically 6 with Hawaii as football only.

I get that the conference is intact for another year.

However in 2026 we no longer even qualify for a conference. Couldn't an argument be made that with media rights, scheduling etc UNLV and the rest of the remaining schools should be allowed to leave based on the uncertainty?

Say UNLV and AF toe the line.

There is absolutely no guarantee that the MWC and it's commissioner are going to even be able to fill the remaining empty spots for the MWC to even qualify as a conference.

In that scenario UNLV would be screwed right? A free agent who's only opportunity would be to go independent.

I know there are basically two camps to this. Get the Hell out of MWC now and stay put and collect the money.

I recognize the risks involved in both and the potential benefits in both.

I don't think this would happen but let's say MWC is unable to attract any new members? What then?

Sorry buddy, you say 2 different things in successive posts. You sure you didn't come from my Board and assume a different handle? :) :)

And semi related, there were basically no exit fees for the Pac traitors because the media contract had expired. I still am not quite sure how we wrangled the $65M from them.

They announced leaving and played out an entire season. That is 1 season season of a contract, right?
It was also a record year for the pac 12 with each team receiving 37 million dollars ( not just media rights).

Pac-12 Set High Revenue Mark in FY23, While School Payouts Sank

While the conference brought in almost $604 million, members saw their distributions shrink by about $3 million from the previous fiscal year.

The MW is in the same boat, except it is 2 years away, not one. And that our contract is significantly less. But we don't have a contract beyond next season, just like you didn't have a contract beyond that final season.

Yes sorry I did say technically 2 separate things. I should have said "New PAC teams" instead of PAC. Excuuuuuuuuse me.

You still didn't answer my question. How much of YOUR post was pulled from your butt and how much was an actual report?

UNLV still has to compete with VGK and Raiders.

Winning will help no argument. But the worse the schedule the less that winning will help.

Sure back in the 80s 90s and when UNLV was only show in town didn't matter who they played.

Now I think it does matter.

That would definitely be part of any “bad faith”, as you of course know.

Hand in hand with what reagan said and would definitely be the bad faith part needed to go hand in hand with the collusion part.

And all of it goes straight to the part where everything gets dragged out for god knows how long. Ultimately it would most likely end up settled BUT in the meantime both sides are gonna be asking for “stuff” from the other side that they think helps their case… and then both sides litigate about that… and so on and so on…

If in fact there is evidence that the MW was trying to pick off one PAC school and not the other, then that to me would be a pretty damning piece of evidence that the MW was in fact trying to murder their partner. I’d imagine that would go a long way in convincing a judge that the party acting in bad faith through everything was the MW.

It would most certainly cause the MW to settle for far less than they otherwise thought they’d get.

Damn it now they're going to reverse sue our reverse sue.

A double reverse suing!

I watch old wrestling clips on YouTube all day…80’s 90’s.

I like the promos, stuff that you didn’t catch when you were younger.

The new stuff that’s out today..it’s lame. Bad storylines etc. they are athletic and in top top shape but that’s about it.
