A little smoke….Graney….

On UNLV to the Big 12. IMO UNLV’s wins on the road at Houston and Kansas and finishing ranked 23rd in the county has opened up some eyes on a Big 12 invite down the road.

What is going to be tough …

From what I’m hearing.

Overall, more athletic, more speed, more overall talent. Better units.

It always is a main determinant of success or failure, but more so this season than any probably since Rice, the chemistry is going to be tough. Let’s face it, we’ve had too many of our most impact players recently that are “nice guys”. Nice guys finish last as Leo says.

We have some strong personalities, which is great from a toughness standpoint, but if they don’t coalesce, it won’t be the season people are hoping for. I think it’s Pastner’s primary challenge, getting that unified buy in. There are some characters in the squad.

Good interview that’s gets into some detail on CJP’s history. He definitely has quite the coaching pedigree and his enthusiasm is a rather stark contrast to KK. I wasn’t planning on renewing my season tickets but now I may have to reconsider. Only negative is he gushed a bit too much about Arizona and Lute Olsen for this Tark era Rebel fan.

Facilities played a large role in Mullins decision.....

From CDM.....

"Mullen first became impressed with UNLV while in Las Vegas in 2023 to attend former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow's College Football Hall of Fame induction. He couldn't believe the $35 million Fertitta Football Complex that opened in 2019 and knew the Rebels spent gamedays at an NFL stadium.

“This (practice) facility was so much better than anything I had when I took the Mississippi State job,” Mullen said. “I had to build the facility there. Florida had nothing like this. Not even close to this.”

PAC Media ( 1 year deal )

The new Pac-12 media deal, effective for the 2025 football season, is projected to pay each school approximately $10 million per year. This is significantly less than the previous Pac-12 deal, which averaged $30 million per school. The new deal involves CBS, ESPN, and The CW. The payout is still higher than what the Mountain West Conference (MW) currently receives, with MW schools making around $3.5 million annually.
