I was referring to the comment about UNLV being offered BEFORE SDSU but I'll comment on this as well...

Livengood (UNLV AD) has been critical of the decisions by Boise State and San Diego State to take their football programs to the Big East next year while sending their other sports to separate leagues.

UNLV has given every indication it would prefer to keep all its programs in the Mountain West and not do anything to negatively affect its nationally ranked basketball team.

Where in this quote does it say they were offered a BE invite? Giving every indication that they would prefer to keep all of their program in one conference does not equal turning down an invite.

I give my wife every indication I'd prefer to stay with her but if Salma Hayek gave me an invite that might change...

The Salma agreement seems to be in more than your household these days. It doesn't even have to be in a legal contract. It's a handshake sort of agreement.
Cheers!

Looks like they took SD and Boise instead and there is no where that says UNLV was ahead of either of them or that UNLV turned down the Big East. So go ahead and make any claim you want but this is the internet and you will be asked to prove that claim. You have yet to do that. Don't like it then don't make those claims.

The burden of proof actually lies with YOU, since you are the one claiming his statement is false. Not the other way around.

I don't recall asking your opinion. However since you believe it is wrong, prove it.

No, the burden of proof is on you. You made an outlandish claim...well prove it.

Exactly! Thats like me telling my friends that i'm banging Jennifer Lawrence. It's on ME to prove I am, not up to my friends to prove im not.

No you fail analogies and logic.

You get a major media outlet report saying the Big East has approached a school and then leap to the hilarious conclusion that school would accept a membership if offered. I've added other links, embarrass yourself further if you really want to.

Right now you have a decision to make.
Respond no further pretend this thread didn't happen.
Back down
Double down on a losing argument.

Hahaha you have "sources" who say the big east was "pursuing" UNLV. Thats not an invitation. You fail at reading comprehension and basic understanding of the english language. UNLV was never offered a spot, the whole western expansion of the conference fell apart well before any formal invitation could even be offered.

HAHAHAHAHA

If you knew how to read you would have read that Boise had already committed and the people at UNLV were courting Boise to return.
