It's definitely a better name.
Not sure if this makes sense but the reward outweighs the risk.
Army and that offense can pose problems like Air Force.
So a risky game that doesn't move your needle as much if you win.

I was born and raised there. People love a reason to get out of town.Expect a decent Cuse contingent to be at Allegiant. They seem excited.
2024 Schedule
I’ve been hoping for a Vanderbilt series. Hopefully, it’ll happen one of these years. It’s a fun town to visit.
Plus I think Syracuse will be a better team of the schedule does hold wow that is a good one.
Nice to see we got a good replacement game for Army. A better program than Army, but still very beatable depending on our QB situation at the time.
This is also a game that could bring 35K plus with a decent crowd support for Syracuse.

I would still love a game vs Army. Syracuse is cool because they will bring a lot fans to Vegas. But it won't be an easy game for either team. This will be a battle.
Cuse fan here. We think this is a one off game. Nothing announced yet for a return.
I expect Cuse we'll bring 5K. Lots of transplants, alumni and retirees within 6 hours of Vegas.
It is winnable...but Cuse should be better than last season. All this assuming our QB is healthy we should be much better than our November team. Our new coach is recruiting at the highest level in 25 years. I expect a close game.
From reading on their message board, they seem to think they'll travel really well, and possibly outnumber unlv fans. If that were true, which I doubt, there would be 40-50k fans at that game. That would be incredible
Need a resume for that playoff spot.
Get 2 of 3 vs Houston, Kansas and Syracuse?
7-1 in conference plus conference title game win enough?
Thanks that is interesting I'm surprised Syracuse would agree to that vs us. Unless they had a team cancel like us.
Love this move! Good program with brand recognition. Should put butts in seats and make for an exciting atmosphere. Odom is bringing it!!
We had an Army away game canceled. We hosted them last year.
I actually think a return game would be good. I'm sure many of you would like to visit upstate NY in the Fall.
You remember which board said that? I didn't read anything like that.
We'll bring 5K...maybe a little more if the stars align. We have an away game at Cal so most east coast Cuse fans will choose one or the other.

If the Grant of Rights hold (which most experts think will) the ACC might lose a few teams around 2030. FSU will likely leave but after that who knows.
UNLV is actually a school mentioned as a candidate to build a western ACC division.
UNLV has picked up a lot of very good transfers on defense.
Wonder if this game gets nationally broadcast on CBS. Like the Michigan game was.
Interesting.
Funny I threw this idea out in the event the ACC lost Clemson FSU and Miami.
Basically two 9 team divisions. Atlantic and Pacific. Only play your division in regular season. Winners of divisions play in conference tourney. Reduces travel costs.
Far fetched but interesting discussion.
I don't see much movement until around 2029-30. That is when a couple TV contracts expire. The ACC has the network which is a big deal and something the B12 doesn't have. However, it loses ground monetarily with cord cutting. The battle brewing is over who is #3.
If you like talking realignment www.csnbbs.com has a board devoted to this. (Look under the "Lounge")
It depends on how far we have to climb to be in the top 12. No more than one loss.
I don't know, but it sure feels like FSU doesn't want to wait until 2030 to leave the ACC.
I thought the top G5 team was guaranteed a spot.. However, I think we are going to be extremely dangerous across the board next year and our toughest game is probably going to be at Kansas given all they return.
Sure they can leave
But the ACC has a contract
Most legal experts think FSU doesn't have a case.
Right now if they want to leave for 2025 it will cost them north of $500M.
Ok that makes sense then. I would like them to return it because I can drive there.
What? What about the mighty WSU Cougs? Are we mentioned as well?
UNLV is just a bunch of drunken womanizing gamblers. WSU is, well, a bunch of drunken womanizers. See the difference?
How the 12-team College Football Playoff will work: Teams, schedule, bids
Here's a breakdown of how the new 12-team College Football Playoff will work — starting in 2024-25 — according to CFP officials.
www.ncaa.com
The 6 top rated conference champions get a bid.
So the 2 highest G6 conference champions with get a bid. Which almost guarantees the MW champion a bid with the PAC dissolving.
So we could be a 2 or even 3 loss team and still get in, depending on the rest of the country.
LOL. Are we hoping the rest of the country have more than 2 or 3 losses?How the 12-team College Football Playoff will work: Teams, schedule, bids

Looks like it is a one and done with no return game. Only paying Syracuse 300k to come. With all the extra attendance game should easily be a net gain.

How much is Syracuse football being paid to travel to UNLV in 2024?
The game is one of two on SU's schedule that is not part of conference play or an announced series of games.

No team plays for free. In this case, I think they could sell enough tickets for the visiting team to cover what they are being paid. My expectation is the average crowds for UNLV are going to be in the low to mid 30's
