This would be the biggest question mark, but the new commissioner is a huge

7/22/21 8:41am

UNLV could really blow up to be a major program. Pac12 would be smart taking

Vegas is already counted as PAC 12 territory. USC probably has more fans there

You are right but aside from being a crappy school, they now have an NFL stadium

Thank you. I don't know why "NFL Stadium" is the buzz word all of a sudden.

here's to hoping

7/22/21 9:42am

It matters when you played in a dump prior.

7/22/21 9:59am

To you it matters, but to the P12 it makes no difference. The team, popularity,

I don’t think it’s about territory now. That era has passed,it’s about

Yep….and now might be the time for the Pac12 to ‘invest’ in UNLV. They will have

I don't think the PAC 12 is interested in those schools

JoeExotic

7/22/21 8:46am

I don’t think that happens unless it’s football only just to get to 16.

7/22/21 8:52am

7/22/21 10:44am

#258. Wazzu is #176 Oregon State #153 Arizona State is #103 Utah #97 BYU is #80. Academics isn't keeping BYU out.
