Fair point. But that interview is more than we are hearing about or from anyone at UNLV...
Not conplaining, UNLVs relative silence could be by design. I don't know.

HC of UTSA asked about PAC and possible invite.

I'm being serious when I say this, I think this stuff is much further along than we think, and there is a very distinct chance UNLV may not be in the mix.

Honestly, if the Pac 2 take the AAC 2, plus the 4 mentioned Texas schools, the only move currently open to Big 12 would be to add a UNLV, they arent stealing ACC schools with the buyout costs and we might be real cheap... offer 2/3 payout for 5 years or something and then they don't need to worry about if they make a splash with a Boise or a SDSU, get Vegas road trips and add a program with NFL level facilities...

Look I don't disagree.

I just wonder how hard they are looking at further expansion.

Like if it was FSU/CLEMSON or a couple other ACC schools they might have figured no brainer.

But they could just stand pat as well.

I think we are more attractive than any of the remaining schools in the AAC (I guess maybe South Florida?)

But do they feel they 'need' us.

I think in order the biggest dominoes are Memphis, Tulane, followed by AFA..

If it gets quiet for a while after Memphis and Tulane that might be a good sign for UNLV and eventual PAC invite.

If suddenly UTSA/RICE ETC start getting rumored and no smoke about UNLV maybe not so good.

I don't know. This stuff sucks.

5. SDSU leaving for a weaker Pac 12... no wait, they do that every few years in a cry for attention

Directv without espn? Dude that’s retarded.

Did my stream last without getting cut?

Thanks for posting
Coach is ready to be a huge part of the valley…. I don’t know if that’s really understood completely… or fully. He really sees the value here and what he could build on a national level.

I don't believe ACC would take either, if I am ACC take UCON, or stand pat.
Big 12 is my choice for UNLV, just win in football and maybe KK and get hoops in NCAA or move on from him.

Goes back to does BIG12 want UNLV though.

I would love it if that is where UNLV ended up.

But it feels pretty unlikely.

And yes I will gladly eat crow if it happens.

I've gone back and forth on this multiple times.

Sure UNLV was Pac bound, not sure, sure again, not sure etc.

Right now..

I think there is a realistic possibility UNLV is not in the plans and is a back up option for the new PAC.

I know we should take 'sources' with a grain of salt but.

There are more and more beat writers saying once Memphis and Tulane join PAC2 that PAC will then focus on the Texas market.

PAC only needs 8 by next year. They'll have that with Memphis and Tulane.

Texas Schools being linked to PAC2 now are UTSA, RICE, TEXAS STATE and North Texas.

Now the question is, do they want all of them if possible? Or just a footprint in the state.

If its all of them, that leaves no room for UNLV.

I hate to say it but UNLVs only options may come down to CUSA or AAC.

Another option would be if MWC tries to stay alive and do their own poaching.

Which is fine but considering what we lost you'd be hard put to replace it.

Either way if a PAC invite doesn't come UNLV may end up in a worse conference than they are now.

Which....

Sucks.

My Israeli Tourguide mentioned “Motorola” was made popular in Israel as Israeli companies.

What is your opinion of enemies of Israel getting their comeuppance?

no my Israeli tourguide in 2016 says Motorola was founded by Israel back then.

Didnt love the shot at Tark (the guy meant it as a joke I am sure) at the end, but it is what it is.

Odom is such a pro, we need to keep that man in Vegas

I think UNLV brings more to the table then sdsu, csu and Frenso. Just cause they have a 10 million market don't mean that 10m TVs will be on. Sdsu football brings nothing.

I also noticed that Boise State has not been ranked in the top 25 since the end of the 2019 season. That is a long time for a small market team to unranked while still relevant on a national level. UNLV can boost their position by continuing to win and getting ranked in the AP so that a number shows up next to their name!

I agree with what he says about winning big on a national level will take care of everything!

People want a new basketball coach. One thing that is for sure, we cannot afford a new one right now.

We are looking at taking a big paycut in media revenue, and we need to spend all of the resources we can muster to make things right with Coach Odom and his staff.

Unless we can find outside money, firing Kruger now is not a good idea.

UNLV finished 4th in conference last season. Kruger's Contract is the 7th highest in the league.

Just take care of Coach O and his staff first. The cut from the 4 teams defectors should go to Coach O and his staff. Basketball is ok for now.

Blake Shelton at UNLV game would be awesome.

So, when you say pay for a basketball coach do mean a real basketball coach. One with experience and will actually work his ass of recruiting. One that will actually get us to an NCAA tournament.
