I'm not usually petty..But...

Hey @wolfgang jayn how you feeling right now?

I tried to look up info on the University of Nevada and found nothing. Oddly enough unr.edu takes me right to your University's website.

You are and will forever be UNR no matter how much you try to distance yourself from your city.

Happy holidays!

Enjoy Chode for the next 4 years....
In my opinion, it's good to be petty on this subject. It irks me every time I see Nevada instead of UNR. Their official name is University of Nevada Reno. Its the brainchild of the athletic department and not the official name of the University. I'll join your pettiness, with good reason. GO REBELS!

Keeping Odom.

Agree with all that.

However if the Big12 is in play I don't think result of MWC championship game would in anyway be a deciding factor. (Not being argumentative) I think if there is any BIG12 talk going on the decision has already been made one way or another..There might be some provisions or criteria the BIG12 would want to see UNLV meet (Plans for investment into programs etc) But otherwise UNLV has probably already been told Yep/Nope or Yep but you gotta do this...

Win Friday certainly wouldn't hurt the optics..
I could see if some teams are on the fence where a CFP appearance would push them over.

CFP

Im trying to understand the CFP. The 5 ranked conference champions are in. MWC is be considered in that top 5 according to what I've read. Only one team will come out of the 5th ranked conference, and that will be either UNLV or Boise, depending who wins the Championship game, right? However, if the league is ranked #4, does that mean MWC may get more than one team in if UNLV wins? It's really confusing.

Basically the four P4 conference champs. Highest rated G5 champion. 7 at large bids.

It's the At large bids where we are going to see the shenanigans.

It's possible the MWC could get two but I doubt it. If UNLV were to beat Boise State Rebs are obviously in. Boise would likely get boxed out as committee would probably jump through hopes to put an SEC or BIG10 school in.

I read a column by Steve Carp, he said that Harper is talking with Odom but won’t get into specifics in terms of anything. I suspect it’s to give Odom a big contract and big staff raise.

The conference will pay unlv 25 million, most of which will cover the department deficit. The rest could feasibly be used for extending coaches. There’s also donor support and other means to keep Odom. One way I’d be curious to see if Harper would use some of the contract language that Lon Kruger implemented to receive a percentage of the gate for all home games.

I’d also be curious to see if there’s any Big12 rumblings starting up after next week IF we win. A potential invite would be a great incentive for a HC like Odom.
