Do you have a specific time-frame of when you expect that to happen?
UNLV is not a proactive school, we are reactive.
It is clear to anyone paying close attention that about two years ago someone contacted UNLV and told them what needed to be done for them to be admitted into a major conference. Who contacted them? Your guess is as good as mine.
I believe the PAC-12 or Big-12 did.
UNLV who is not proactive, out of nowhere decided to start a new medical school, build a new billion dollar Football Stadium and spend $75 million on upgrades to the Thomas & Mack Center for Basketball. UNLV will announce a new $40 million dollar football practice facility paid for by the Fertitas next month.
Why is UNLV doing this? Someone important told them to do it.
Never in my lifetime has UNLV put in this sort of effort. They wouldn't do it unless they had been coached to do so.
I believe the hold up on a Big-12 announcement is that they are waiting for the stadium in Vegas to be approved and it is taking longer than they expected.
A special session of the Nevada legislature should be called next month to expedite the stadium approval.
UNLV President will update Big-12 on where UNLV is at in the process next week.
Big-12 Championship game in Vegas and Las Vegas Bowl will be Big-12 vs PAC-12.
In new stadium..
