The next option for their preferred clientele is UNLV as a quality product. Why did Mullen all of a sudden end up at UNLV?

Because the Fertittas give UNLV a bunch of money to do stuff like this and Dana put in a good word so that Cannon had a spot on the basketball team at Bishop Gorman.

Intriguing but seems the owners would spearhead UNLV to the Big12 to become first class members of D1 for starters. Then fork up NIL to start competing with TTU. Then they could host Big12 championships in Vegas. This would be a destination city. Dallas, the current B12 venue, is a big city but it sucks. Shitty Airport, Traffic, and bad weather. I went to SMU after MSU undergrad, Dallas is a place to work, not to visit.

Unreal that the NCAA (college Presidents) have allowed lawyers and greed to tear down college athletics. But we all still watch.

Yep. It will be ruined.
