Dollar amounts because I’m not certain. I’ve heard a range of numbers that UNLV can afford for NILs. I don’t know how accurate it is.
But even if I take the lowest numbers I’ve heard, no, it’s not some huge number, it’s a drop in the bucket nationally but it’s far more than what we were using last season. If last year had this years plan, the UNM center would be here. There is some money to play with … it will attract good players. Not great players, we aren’t coming close to hitting Miami’s 2.2M per year, not a little bit close … but it’s several times more than last year.
Glad to see they are improving things. I hate the speed in which UNLV moves with nearly everything, this included, it was coming down the pike and UNLV saw it and did little. The center from UNM last season instead of our two statues would have probably given UNLV 3-4-5 more wins alone. But I guess it’s better late than never.
But we ARE going to need ROI. And I do think it’s going to have to be immediate ROI.
