Hard to believe this thread will reach 2,000 pages.  And, I know, I just helped it along.

UNLV? What a joke. I don’t care how much money is surrounding the program. I don’t care how nice their new stadium is. They need to prove themselves in some form before we consider the prospect of the idea of adding them.

Not sure but I suspect it is in the billions....   

Every tv in the area is tuned to the games.

A joke compared to what? USF?

• Their athletic department last year generated 10% more revenue than USF (~$5M) and they do it with $14M less coming from student fees compared to USF
• Their basketball program has made 4 NCAAT appearance in the last 10 years compared to our 1, and they are currently in 2nd place in the MWC
• Their foorball program has been aweful but I don't think we really should be bashing like-programs
• And their football team is going to moving into a world-class facility with 9 games against P5 teams in the next 6 years (comprable to most AAC teams)

 

There are alot better programs then UNLV to add if the AAC wanted, but to call them a joke it call USF something worse.

 

What they would be is a little poorer, less brand name, Western version of UConn ..... but a destination location. They actually generate more revenue through Ticket Sales and Contributions than UConn does.

A joke compared to other prospects who would help us as a football conference.

They have had two winning seasons THIS CENTURY.

How does UNLV improve the strength of our conference? Forget the economics, that benefits UNLV and them alone. Wouldn't help us at all.

I'm going to repeat the fact that over the past 20 seasons, they have only finished in the plus column twice. Let that sink in before you put USF and UNLV in the same paragraph.

That's easy:

Next season USF and UNLV will both be playing in NFL stadiums that are home to swashbucklers. Also, over the past 20 years, both programs have an equal amount of football conference championships.
