RE: UNLV football and its new coach
UNLV could get the money easy if they tried/won.
Sanchez won't make or break them getting money even though he obviously knows big donors.
If you watch the HBO special on the UNLV basketball team you'd get a glimpse of it. When they were really good they got many Vegas hot shots to back them and many aren't alumni. It's a winners town, so they have to get some wins and then the money will come.
If he has to use his handful of guys to get even more that may work. But in the HBO special they said in UNLVs bball hey day Steve Wynn was like the biggest booster, Sinatra went on recruiting visits and more.
They could easily get guys like Wynn, Billy Hunter (last name could be wrong but big time gambler and real estate magnate) and more. Their access to funds might be more plentiful than any D1 program, they just haven't secured the funds.
