Army and UNLV

I don't think it is that much of a pipe dream anymore. UNLV appears to be finding the funding to be very competitive with the Big 12 conference, and the crowds at UNLV have almost doubled in size over the last 5 years. My expectation is that UNLV will continue to win, continue to get more hotel/casino and other corporate support, continue to increase crowd size, and continue to get more of a national following. If UNLV continues in this direction, unlike BSU who have a small local market, UNLV will become the best option to join one of the major conferences. The Big12 needs to increase their media footprint, and I think UNLV is working their way towards being the best option.

UNLV if added cannot reduce the overall media contract. If BIG12 can add UNLV and possibly one other and the media payouts stays static UNLV has a shot. If it would reduce the payout because it's one more mouth to feed the other schools will vote against the addition. Really comes down to that.

I think UNLV is definitely trying to position themselves and make themselves as viable as possible.

But until I'm sitting in Stillwater Oklahoma watching the Rebs play the Cowboys in a conference game its still a pipe dream.

All we have now is ifs and maybe...

I agree on all of your points. I'll add that UNLV is in one of the most recognized, glamourous, and sports-oriented cities in the world.

Sneaky good game there.

Not to mention a potential 3rd win over a conference we might be trying to get into. (I mean pipe dream but still)

It doesn't always need to be bad to have zero west coast ties. Odom really had no west coach ties when he took over UNLV, and they did most of there recruiting from the south, and look what that did for UNLV. So far of the five recruits for UNLV under Mullen, four are from Florida, and one from Texas. Also all of the coaching staff he has brought in came from back east.

With the portal now I don't think regional ties matter as much like you said. Football recruiting use to be a lot more regional in the past. Now not so much.

I think it helps, in regards to HS recruiting. Knowing coaches and programs etc. But with the portal now..Not so much.

UNLV Hockey

Even more context..

Now to be fair hockey has the most amount of 'luck' of the major sports. Harmless shot from 20 feet out catches a skate takes weird angle goes in. Your team dominates puck possession triples the opponents high danger chances and somehow you're down 1-0 or 2-0.

If UNLV played Denver 10 times they are losing 9 of them. This just happened to be the one. And it's pretty damn impressive regardless.

Scroll up to read my thoughts. But to summarize, I think this is a shit hire. We could and should have done much better.

My idiot Coug brethren? Most of them think this is a home run hire. And that Rogers apparently bringing his entire staff of completely non-FBS experienced coaches with zero West Coast ties is great news. And that he apparently will be bringing a bunch of his FCS players to bolster the roster is wonderful news.
