That kid is so good, man. I don't care if he is cripple or lost an arm. None throwing arm.
Mullen
- Thread starter Buffel
- Start date
A lot of moving parts with Mullen. However, would UNLV even have a legitimate shot with Mullen with out the $25 million signing bonus and agreement to stay in the. MWC? I don’t think so. Especially when the G5-PAC 2 expected UNLV to pay the hefty MWC exit fee to join the G5-PAC 2.
I'm sure that's what Harper said after he accepted the job.
If it was leverage I suspect that someone would have mentioned that “such and such school” is also interested in him.
Sounds like the leverage he’s using is to get the largest commitment possible from the school for the program. And god bless him for that.
I guess SDSU didn't meet his metrics 😂Let's go!

F sdsu and their metrics. The fudged the stats, misrepresented and morons took it hook like and sinker. I guess I shouldn’t blame SDSU so much, maybe more blame should be placed on the recipients of the info that didn’t question what had to look faulty.
The Pac didn't invite SDSU because of football. They needed someone to entice Gonzaga and that's why they're keeping tournament credits. They're football program had a blip of success and that justified adding them, plus Boise and friends knew they would jump at any chance to leave MWC
I think this is parade worthy. Lets get it going down Maryland parkway!
Didn't know Saccenti was involved. I'll have to send my boy a TY note this morning.
I definitely got that chill feeling like when we won the Natty. Thousands of us flocked over to the UNLV campus that night.
They shouldn't count on that money because that is absolutely not a sure thing.
The first bonus is dependent on poaching fees that could be thrown out entirely from a lawsuit, and the other extra money is based on exit fees that haven't been negotiated yet.
I would think that this is relying heavily on outside money to fund all of this.
Even if we do get everything that is promised to us, we won't get it until the beginning of the 2025 school year, and Harper's press conference was even later. We also don't know what the new media contract truly is. UCD isn't helping the cause that is for sure, it probably takes money away TBH.
Party time. Unlv going places we only dreamed of.
Dont let Lynaskin read this anymore. Just ban him. lol
It’s done. The $25 mill is done and I will leave it at that. Brilliant move by Harper! Set the financial foundation for hiring the new coach.
Multiple sources are reporting this as true, but multiple sources are citing Brett Murphy. Will temper my exciting until UNLV has an official annoucement.
Wow! Did the Las Vegas Bowl invite the Big 12 to Allegiant for their football media day? Interesting….in the potential connections.
Exactly. I saw a couple of more media announcements but they each qualified it with "if confirmed".
Has the poaching fees lawsuit been thrown out yet? Because if not...
Easy to say. They haven’t sniffed 10 wins since he’s been gone.
Money isn’t real. There’s zero consequences to running an athletic department in the red and no reward for running in the black. Run up the credit card and wait for the subsidies the university receives to flow back to the athletic department. We need to spend like there’s no tomorrow.
Correct me if I’m wrong, was Harper’s press confence about Odom’s departure at the Las Vegas Bowl media day? I remember reading something about the press conference starting 30 mins late and then Harper did his announcement before LVB execs made theirs.
That seed for Mullen was planted that day. See what happens when you show up to work?
That man is become statute worthy.

If this is real… All I can say is “Wow” and well done by Harper!
A week ago, disappointment, today ecstatic!

Did On3 retract that announcement? I'm only seeing them say now that UNLV is "set" to hire Mullen.
Harper goal has always been wanting to leave his mark on this university as I've been told by those around him. He certainly takes this job seriously. More so than most that came before him.
Yes, but McMurphy is pretty legit when it comes to him breaking news. He has a good track record and reputation.
I'd have to imagine after 2 years out, he's lost touch with HS recruiting. I wonder how many of his former Florida guys are left that want to hop into the portal to play for us.
Who cares about high school recruiting today. recruit P4 backups that want playing time like Woodard.
Mullen is an offense guy. I hope we can keep Sherer and Shibest. Have to assume Marion is gone.
