I am a lurker, being an alumni and fan of the University of Utah, and also a secondary fan of the Rebels. I think some of you are too tough on the Rebel football team. Unlike Utah, UNLV suffered from terrible administrative leadership in the past. However, if your team defeats Hawaii and Reno, goes 6-6, and participates in a bowl game, that is quite an achievement and concrete progress. With all of the other things going for UNLV, such as the Medical School, improved academics, stadium, facilities, and growing city/media market, achieving 6 to 9 wins per year should make you a prime candidate for future expansion. When the musical chairs end in a few years, I hope that Utah ends up in the Big 10 and UNLV in the Big 12. G-d willing, I hope to visit Las Vegas at some point in the next year, due to its large Jewish community and some friends that live there, and may also see a UNLV men's basketball game at that time.
