As usual, I have no inside knowledge or contacts. It is crazy how money-centric and corrupt college athletics has become. I am relieved that Utah appears to be going to the Big 12. The Big 10 would have been better, but is not meant to be in this realignment cycle. I believe that things will work out for best for UNLV in the long term, if UNLV leadership can execute on their vision. Before recent events, some (not me) would have ranked UNLV behind Cal, Stanford, Washington State, Oregon State, UCONN, Memphis, SDSU, SMU, and maybe even BSU, CSU, Tulane, Fresno, and USF. Now, with respect to conference affiliation for those schools, it is a level playing field. If UNLV can execute, it could position itself, due to its facilities, stadium, improving academics, increasing media market, NIL support, recent commitment to football, etc, at the top of the list for future realignment. I hope UNLV gets into a best of the rest conference in the short term and ends up in the Big 12 or even the SEC long term.
