Damn, I was hoping that the Eagles moved there to stop them from breaking our collective Eagles fans hearts with their stupid moves. On a personal note, we're heading to Vegas next month for my wife's birthday.

A capable coach should be able to improve recruiting with this facility. UNLV has hoops cred and the market. I'm not an advocate of expanding our conference, but UNLV, with this stadium, would be on my list. I just depends on the value of markets moving forward. Las Vegas and San Diego are #40 and #28 markets respectively.

Both them and SDSU would add to the TV contract (including new time zones), bring in new territory, solidify the basketball conference and add legit size football stadiums. No doubt Navy would be in favor of the SDSU add because of the number of Naval Academy grads in the San Diego area. Plus travel partners. A legit place to hold the basketball tourney as well, with cheap flights in.

Your words are like a warm blanket to wrap myself in and comfort myself with... bless you sir. I look forward to the day we can call ourselves conference mates again!

Oh, UNLV has quite the "football history." It's right up there with Eastern Michigan and a couple of others... It's a storied history of abject failure.

Historically bad, but historic all the same.

Charlotte has "no football history."

You could equate it (UNLV) with Temple's football history.

Temple West

Temple at least has had some level of success...

Eastern Michigan...the team that are seriously debating a move DOWN to 1-AA. Great company.

Only lately, after 30 years in the abyss. That, my friend, is a long time. Been there, got the T-shirt, saving the T-shirt just in case.

Vegas is a perfect host for a Super Bowl and College National Championship

This facility would be worth it for Vegas

Actually, didn't the Student Body and the Faculty Senate recommend that EMU discontinue FB altogether?

Ya but we know that will never happen. If it were up to students there would be no sports at any college and all the money would go to them. That's why you always see students at the fore front of every anti sports petition/protest. It's always all about them and their entitlement generation.

Not all students are against sports obviously but there is always enough that are to create a stir. Thank god a majority of people don't listen to that particular student minority, and are the ones in charge of said colleges. Otherwise the world would be a very boring place without sports.

That would be a typical move by the Raiders. lol (Might be able to help out UNLV in the process. We shall see.)

Maybe Aresco stops at a table and puts our TV contract on black... who knows what could happen!

ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski said on Sports Reporters today on this topic that the Raiders have a better chance at moving to Las Cruces than any shot at getting approved to move to Las Vegas.
