UNLV fits the metro feel of most of the AAC.

Vegas is great for visiting fans, as it fairly easy to travel there. It is also great city to host conference tournaments in particularly hoops.

True, but other than being a good city---it has zero brand value for football. Remember---its about adding value. Id think the football brand of Air Force is probably the best fit if we are going to add 3--a nice book end for a conference with the name "American" that also has Navy as one of it most well known members. After that---the next best football brand from the MW would probably be Fresno St. I guess there are worse ideas than doubling up in a state like California.

It's Vegas! They just built a two billion dollar stadium that the Rebels will be calling home. If it was just Vegas then yeah I'd agree with you.

He's talking about a package deal. Boise-SDSU-BYU/Boise-SDSU-UNLV/

Don't get too hung up on yesterday. Think about tomorrow. Fresno? Have you ever been to Fresno? We're talking about now and in the future. Vegas and Memphis were the worst and second worst football programs in the US when Porter was the Memphis coach. Fact.

If Memphis could pull out of that then so could UNLV. Especially with a brand new multi-billion dollar state of the art stadium. Vegas is the sports and entertainment capital of the world. Would you rather have that or ECU and Tulsa? A bad Greenville team or a bad Las Vegas team? Which team has the higher ceiling? C'mon.

Lol...Honestly, I can’t think of a less important factor than it’s appeal as a travel destination.

The AAC is a made for tv league. It’s about brand, media value, and competitive value. There are 2 million people in Vegas and around 3 million in the whole state. Fresno only has about half a million people, but it’s in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, which has about 4 million people and no pro sports. A second California school helps build interest in a state with 37 million people and gives you 6 extra potential late night starts per year—which has value to ESPN.

I get that UNLV could improve, but we are talking about trying to dominate the G5 slot. UNLV doesn’t do crap for that. Yeah, they are getting a new stadium—but they are also getting an 800 pound NFL gorilla that will suck most of the air out of the sports landscape in Vegas. UNLV barely gets support with no competition—what happens to their season ticket base when the NFL becomes an option for season tickets? That massive NFL stadium might not be the panacea you think it will be. UNLV has the real potential to end up facing what Tulane dealt with playing before small crowds in the Superdome. A small crowd in a massive stadium isn’t the best college football atmosphere.

Your opinion is well intentioned but short on facts. While there isn’t any pro sports in the SJV it doesn’t matter. Pro is king here. No one really cares all that much for college that isn’t eight Oregon or USC.

Fresno is a big city but an awful city with poor travel options. There isn’t **** there, it’s akin to being California’s Lubbock.
