Hard to say really to your points but Hajj did have the worst turnover of the year with that crushing pick 6 vs Boise. I think we would be in the CFP but who knows.

We all do it, we tend to remember gaffes more. But it's not like Maiava didn't throw some that cost Rebs against Kansas in the bowl game.

I'm not suggesting Hajj is a better passer than Maiava, he's not.

But I don't want to read about Hajj's completion percentage and people not realize it's about the same as Maiava's.

Numbers don't tell the whole story but can't ignore them completely. Maiava turns the ball over at a pretty high clip. I think that over the course of the season it's bound to cost you a game. Flip side his arm likely wins us one. So ultimately a wash.

You would think that the USC v Texas A&M game would have had a good crowd, but around 26K isn't exactly filling the stadium. It would have been nice if UNLV could have played in that bowl game instead of a Wednesday bowl in LA. I believe we could have had a much better crowd at the game.

All these bowl games need to partner with the local hs football teams/athletic depts and let kids sell tickets at discounted prices as a fundraiser to fill these half empty bowl games. Teams get fundraising money and bowls get extra butts in seats.

The way the transfers are going, I think we are replacing significant losses with very capable players.

I think we upgraded at QB.
Equal replacement (size wise) at OL.
Kept a good RB and brought in a capable one (I’m willing to admit a downgrade from what we lost, though).
A same size TE that we utilize more, hopefully.

If all that is true I'm surprised boise let the zags share in the "media revenue" package. It would seem that boise and the zags gave a nice sucker punch to the other schools.

That was SDSU and an attempt to save face after AAC teams said no. They wanted a stronger conference basketball wise to insure they get at minimum an at large bid each year, and the 50% credits + full media rights was the carrot they had to dangle for Gonzaga. If our friend @Loyal Coug1 is correct, the original Pac 2 teams weren't happy about that addition. Those were the 2 schools driving the realignment bus, both created sweetheart deals to keep themselves financially ahead of the others.

Very self-centered deals for BSU and Gonzaga. Good point.

I stopped following after a while since nothing official became announced. Isn’t NIU (I think that’s the school) announcing their decision to join or decline MWC in January?

When is the pac announcing their tv deal? Any due date for that yet?

The middle two paragraphs weren’t directed at you, Meister, just asking the entire crowd in case these points are already known.

I don't know, the flipside is the run game takes a pretty significant hit.

Not to mention for all their faults Hajj and Sluka didn't turn the ball over much. We didn't gift teams a lot of extra possessions or short fields with turnovers.

Maiava puts the ball in danger. A lot.

I don't know if our record is much different..

For all the consternation about Hajj' completion percentage. People might want to look at Maiava's before assuming it's significantly better. It's not.

Neither. Had to do woth Boise not wanting an up and coming football program to challenge them. Look at the league they built for themselves, full of mediocre programs in financial troubles without anyone really capable of challenging them for supremacy. Plain and simple they wanted to get to 8 schools and close the doors. Boise should go undefeated every season in that conference. They're a brand that's able to schedule an occasional good ooc game and that's all they need. Then they keep the extra 3 million from cfp qualification and continue the financial supremacy they enjoy in MWC due to sweetheart deal we gave them in 2012

I dont know wjy UNLV was left in the first four but i have 1 of 2 guesses. Either the PAC didnt want the news out until the teams announced the move and they knew the joke of the regents would ruin that with UNLV. Or because they thought that UNLV and UNR had to come together and they didnt want that peice of sh%$ school from up north as part of it.

I think the keep things quiet part is right..

But it doesn't explain USU not getting an initial invite.

What I I think happened was, PAC was sure they could get Memphis & Tulane (Possibly UTSA as well) .

When that fell through they circled back to UNLV and USU as fallback option. Had Memphis and Tulane jumped UNLV and USU would have never been invited in my opinion.
