Unless the PAC media deal is north of 12 million it would be fiscally irresponsible to join the PAC at this point.

Exactly. We have some fans whose knees are starting to shake. As I've said we just need to Hold The Line.

I just hope that Pres. Whitfield’s position as chair of the MWC doesn’t cloud his judgment on making the move to the PAC if the right deal presents itself. UNLV owes no allegiance to the MWC or to UNR.

If that is the case they have the votes to dissolve the conference and pay no departure fees.

The traitors no longer get a vote... otherwise yes, this would have been the smart play.

Hold the Line.

Ricky White didn't play. Like a lot of other players, they go through the week at practice and show people what they can do, then pull out of the game to avoid injury prior to the combine.

The roster was available on the interwebs and RW showed as DEP. I'm not sure what that stands for. Doesn't Expect to Play ? I don't know.

All you can do at this point is to count down the number of games until the season ends. I believe 95% of those following UNLV basketball, including the AD and President, believe Kruger is gone the week they play their last game of the season!

March 11th or 12th.

I saw that Jackson Woodard just got an invite but is Ricky White going to the combine?

According to this guy on X, yes. IDK if that's true or not.

He reminds me of Bruschi who wasn't big or especially fast. But he played fast because of how hard he played and how quickly he could defenses. I could see him not getting a whole lot bigger and still making it in the NFL.

He fixed his hands of stone and he has a chance!!

Yes Rice underachieved ,but i will take what he brought all day vs what CKK has. Imagine if CKK did not have CLK is corner the first few years, or if Thomas did not want to stay home?? Rice also from my understanding had a couple assistants not having his best interest and undermined him. Both were first time coaches and both were learning on the job.

Well this thread has a nice run…

Not doubting that he can/will. I just don't consider players "Rebels" once they leave for other programs. Call me old school, closed minded, whatever.

If I saw one of them on the street I wouldn't start a fight. I just wouldn't reminisce about his time here.

Such a different time in college sports. For me it would depend on what the player accomplished while at UNLV. I miss the old days and the (forced) loyalty to a school, following a player from freshman to senior, etc., but that time is long gone and we have what we have today. For DTJ as an example, I will always consider him a Rebel. He could have gone anywhere but chose to follow his legacy and try to help rebuild the UNLV program. Can’t put the entire blame on him for the program failing to reach those goals. He’s given two years of his college time to UNLV. I hope he stays and I’ll be disappointed if he leaves but won’t blame him for wanting to accomplish more while in college.

I didn’t watch it but RWIII impressed this guy.

I don’t think this guy watched the game either, because I watched every down of the game and didn’t see RWIII play a single down.

We underachieved every year in MWC play under Rice, did we win regular season title or a MWC tournament, hardly. We had non conference wins against ranked teams but come January, big bad CSU, AFA or Wyo would humiliate Rice’s all stars every year!

We won recruiting under Rice but competing in games against inferior talent we lost way more than we should have.

No regular season champs, no MWC champs and definitely no NCAA wins or Final Four championships, that’s what I remember about 2011-2016 for men’s basketball at UNLV!

Ah, the trusty SD Union who rightfully have 0 rooting interest in negotiated penalties or adding UNLV to their woeful conference.... Another Pac 12 fan fiction that everything just goes perfectly their way and no one has to pay what they agreed to. And Especially SDSU.. they should be hammered with fees after their little stunt in 2023 where they tried to jump ship to the Pac only for the Pac to disappear and then came groveling back to the MWC. We should've made them pay then and certainly they should be paying now.

All of this conference realignment BS is frustrating because if youre on the Pac 12 side of which conference you should be in, you think the courts will magically make the fees owed disappear. and if you're on the MWC side, you point to the contract and then all the money coming UNLVs way. Our Athletic department made a decision for the near future. Theyre not changing that because they have taken a hard line on that stance including facilitating the MWC moving its HQ into las Vegas. Pac 12 wants us so badly that they keep pushing all this narrative as if itll make it true. the Pac 12 needs UNLV, we make their media deal far superior even if we only have2 years of successful football and basketball sucks. They f'd the whole thing up by not including us in the first place and now theyre trying desperately to narrate their way to what they want.

Off soap box...
