Football team is trash, but it's not like the AAC hasn't elevated others in this league.

Boise State will do nothing be a poor teammate for their entire existence.

I want to add members that would be fun even when they are bad. If we add some FotM school and they tank, we are gonna look so stupid.

The Rebels cant get any traction in Vegas despite being in a town and state with no pro sports. Now the NFL is about to show up in Vegas to suck up all the sports oxygen in the room and you think NOW is the time to grab UNLV? lol...man, you really like those long shot odds dont you?

All expansion moves are calculated risks.

UNLV has tremendous boom/bust potential.
Boise State is a flight risk, and what happens if they slip to 7-5?
CSU have the facilities, will a change of scenery help deliver more in FB?
Will AF turn into another Army of CUSA situation?

You're basically gambling any way you look at it. I just want to gamble with the capacity to hit it huge. UNLV could actually become big time - but it's nowhere near a sure thing.
