SJSU and FSU have scheduled a 6 game home and home series in football over the next 9 years. I think CSU and Wyoming have something similar. I really don't care about games against the other Pac schools but I would also like to see Nevada playing Fresno State in a home and home arrangement. The Pack has played the Bulldogs for over 100 years..It is a cool thing. Let's keep that going.

No thread? In OT, up 8 about a minute left. 17 3s. And that 3 at the buzzer to force OT was insane.

It was a strategic goal, and has been achieved.

https://lasvegassun.com/news/2024/dec/12/unlv-hires-dan-mullen-as-next-football-coach/ By Mike Grimala (contact) Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024 | 8:37 a.m. UNLV’s search is over, as the school is hiring Dan Mullen as its next football coach. Brett McMurphy of Action News reported the deal was done on Thursday morning. Mullen, 52, comes with a wealth of head coaching experience, which was the top prerequisite of UNLV athletic director Erick Harper. Mullen previously served as head coached at Mississippi State from 2009 to 2017 before taking the Florida job from 2018 to 2021. With a career record of 103-61, Mullen is a proven winner. He went 54-53 in SEC play and took his teams to 11 bowl games in his 13 years. Three of his Mississippi State teams finished the season ranked in the AP Top 25, while three of his Florida teams accomplished the feat.

The Battle to the basement Will the Aztecs continue their slide from Players Era studs to MWC duds ? Can Sparty get their first win over the Aztecs since 2017 ? Will there be more Aztec or Spartan fans in attendance ?

He was also part of the Ohio State program for two seasons. “This is an extremely difficult day for our athletics department and the university community,” a spokesperson said Tuesday in a statement. “The University is providing mental health and related support services to those in need,” the statement said. The Clark County coroner’s office said the cause and manner of death are pending."

Let's Focus on the Positive, People Buoyed by the $100 to 150M in payouts, a better than expected TV deal (I'm sticking with $6M per year) and fanbases motivated by being 'left behind' or joining the conference, the schools are able to secure massive capital projects (looking at you Reno, Hawaii, UNI and Davis), inject money into NIL (looking at you ... everyone) and raise yearly spending into the $60M range (at least for full members). This leads to 2-3 tournament teams per year and capturing a spot in the College Football Playoffs on a consistent basis (33 to 50% of the time).

A bill has been introduced in New Mexico making $2.5M appropriations to each the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University to fund NIL for the 2026 fiscal year. But, NMSU's $ is contingent on hiring an athletic director with NIL experience. The 2.5 million is a drop in the bucket considering how much New Mexico has in oil money! They really need to get it closer to 10 mil. I’m assuming most of the NIL money is going to support UNM football since the basketball program already is already close to the top in the MWC in NIL funds. At least the state legislature is finally waking up that they need to start supporting Lobo Football! https://www.abqjournal.com/sports/article_3dea7386-e359-11ef-bae2-4f5be4ee2b4f.html

This has the potential of being a very exciting game. I hope so, because with a 9PM start I'll need some excitement to keep me awake. USU is -5.5 which actually seems a little tight to me, but The RAMS have shown they can fight anyone or mail it in against anyone so I guess Vegas is figuring on the fight.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43726453/commanders-daniels-named-top-offensive-rookie-nfl-honors In the biggest surprise of Thursday night's NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen overcame the prevailing trend to beat Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for The Associated Press' NFL Most Valuable Player award. Allen is the first player in 21 seasons to capture MVP without being named first-team All-Pro. Since MVP was first handed out in 1957, the only other players to win the award despite not being a first-team All-Pro were Broncos quarterback John Elway (1987) and Titans quarterback Steve McNair (2003). Even though Allen trailed Jackson in nearly every major statistical category, the prevailing narrative was the Bills QB accomplished more with less. After losing his top two wide receivers -- Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis -- Allen led the Bills to the AFC East title and the second-best record in the AFC (13-4). Allen became the first player in NFL history to record at least 25 touchdown passes, 10 touchdown runs and fewer than 10 interceptions in a season. He finished with 28 touchdown passes, 12 rushing touchdowns and six interceptions. any thoughts @Warbow ?

This is a ballpark guess - if you have more substantial info - I'll fix it. ( I don't know how much a cut the conference takes, so I used 11% instead of 11.36) Shares Wyoming, UNLV, Nevada, New Mexico, Air Force, SJSU, Hawaii (1) - 7 UTEP - .8 UNI - .6 Grand Canyon - .2 Davis - .2 Total = 8.8 1 share = 11 % Total contract * 1 share = amount per share 40 * .11 = 4.4 48 * .11 = 5.3 55 * .11 = 6 59 * .11 = 6.5 64 * .11 = 7

According to CollegeAD.com (a sports site I didn’t know existed), Hawaii’s brand and particularly it’s late time zone makes it the “Chase game” for sports bettors and the most bet on game on most nights. “Betting is off the charts, and betting is going to be a line item in how you value an athletics department” ”the Mountain West would be smart to lean into that” ”Don’t be surprise if a major media player tries to siphon off Hawaii football” ”Hawaii just might prove to be the league’s most important piece” MW let’s go!!!

The Department of Education announced today SJSU and Penn are both under investigation for Title IX violations. The high school level Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is also under investigation. SJSU is under investigation for the participation of Blaire Fleming on the women's volleyball team last season. "“President Trump’s Executive Order ‘Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports’ is a promise to women and girls: this administration will not tolerate the mistreatment of female athletes. The Department is taking swift action to investigate three entities for suspected Title IX violations: San Jose State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. The previous administration trampled the rights of American women and girls—and ignored the indignities to which they were subjected in bathrooms and locker rooms—to promote a radical transgender ideology. That regime ended on January 20, 2025,” said Craig Trainor, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights." https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-investigate-title-ix-violations-athletics

The Fresno football program is in shambles. They can't pay to get the asbestos out of the facilities. The stadium is crumbling. They just hired a coach who made his FCS team worse, and then they immediately got better when he was replaced. Their donor base is dead and/or too poor to pay for facility upkeep let alone any upgrades or NIL. They have solid attendance, but only because they are practically and in some cases literally giving away tickets. Constant "Flash sales" and shit. Just not a lot of talent on the roster, they all left for the portal and nobody was brought in. Basketball is one of the worst programs in the country, the SMC is dead. SJSU has more of an atmosphere at their BB games. They just hired a high school coach who is going to further drive the program into the dirt. Can it be salvaged at this point? Will it take 10 years to overcome this most recent idiotic hire? The New Pac needs to keep the dongs on probation. They only get a half share until they can fix this mess. Discuss.
