Yeah basketball could be problematic for a school like UNLV with a talented roster and a good incoming class but I think we’ll have a season there even if it’s a shortened conference only slate starting in 2021. NCAA can’t afford to miss out on another billion dollars this March.
Football might not be as bad for UNLV. I hate to say it but I’m sure there’s some Sanchez guys buried on the depth chart that CMA could encourage to find a better situation.
I heard Day (Ohio State HC) talking about the Spring season yesterday. I originally thought Spring ball was some fantasy non-realistic idea but I’m starting to warm to the plan more. Start in January, have 8 games or so and have the season the end in April before the NFL draft. The other thing he was talking about was early enrollees. Get the HS/JC kids in early and they can play Spring 21’ and the Fall 21’ and only use 1 year of eligibility. UNLV probably doesn’t have the type of recruit that’s ready for CFB day one but still maybe 2 or 3 could see the field and be ready to contribute more in the Fall.
