How much do you think it would take to replace the Fertitta's name on the practice facility complex? With 702 Rebel Knight! $25 Million or Double? Or maybe the Field at Allegiant stadium for 25 years at $1 Million a year.

1 billion dollars..lemme guess, you cucks pay for hookers too.
 
Unless your wife is the bread winner in the family, everyone pays sooner or later! Either in court, credit card bills, alimony, etc.......
 
I’d be UNLV’s donor who helps gets things organized and done so we aren’t a laughing stock in football and hoops!

I’d be like Luke Campbell on the sidelines at a Miami football game. Handing out 1000 dollars after every tackle, catch, block..
 
I’ll be honest here. If I were going to pony up a ton of cash to the department, it would be conditional (which is hypocritical, because I don’t like conditional donations). But it’s only because UNLV has formed an incredible dynasty with a string of national championships for incompetency. A blind donation is “for the good of the program”, which, honestly, is the way it should be. But based on results, and not just a small window of evidence, it’s essentially a waste of dollars. Of course they’ll prey on loyalty while still serving turd sandwiches.

You can’t tell me that football donations have enhanced the program when it comes to the bottom line. Are we saying if UNLV didn’t get as much in donations that we’d be worse than #121 (or whatever it is)? Basketball has been essentially a 500 program over the past several seasons. Less donations, they’d be worse? Perhaps they would, but is less than 500 really worse than 500? It all adds up to no postseason.

I’d have to have confidence to donate that sort of money and anybody that has had confidence in UNLV’s admin is either a sucker or as dumb as bricks. You don’t have to dive very deeply at all to see that UNLV admin is one of the primary issues with the failures/mediocrity of the top programs.

I hope this AD/president combo is different, tremendously different, than the last few we have had. And words don’t do it for me, they can say all the right things in the papers and it doesn’t mean a damn thing. They’re all well schooled and spoon fed questions and given time for the answers and they team up with friendly outlets. For me, it must evidence based. Prove it. And not with bullshitted data and slants and manipulations. Just prove it. Some people are not gullible dummies.
 
I’d partner with a local business for an NIL deal. 50 grand per player. Both football and basketball. All other scholarship sports 10,000 per player. All walk-ons for all scholarship sports would have their tuition and fees paid.

Rough estimate is around 8 Mil a year.
 
I’d have a big douffel bag of cash like Floyd Jr.
Have them all gather at a meeting. Every single one of those administrations including admins/boosters/big wigs

Throw out my cash on a table and say..

“Do I offend you?”

Would like to see a show of hands..

They would definitely know who I am..
 
$50K per year for players who get a free education while students are paying additional tuition to cover the money spent in the athletic program and other non-education programs that the student athletes take advantage of, something seems upside down here?

It’s your billion you do what you want with it.
 
Let's just say it would be enough to warrant:

A statue. Something tasteful not to gaudy..Maybe the size of the Statue of liberty at New York New York.

Allow me to call the first play of every football game.

A street name.
