My understanding is that UNLV was under the impression the PAC 12 would pay for its exit fees, on top of the poaching penalties. The PAC 12 said UNLV needs to pay for its own exit fees.

And even then, the contracts need to be drawn up by real sports agents, and not an ambulance chasing lawyer that is a friend of the program. Just ask LSU what happens when you don't put a retirement clause in the multimillion dollar NIL contract with top QB recruit.

Imo you're the real troll here. You never contribute anything meaningful to the discussion. Instead of offering thoughtful reasons for why you disagree, all you seem to do is resort to name-calling and putting others down. If you have a point to make, try expressing it with respect instead of belittlaybe people.

Sure, but all the things that make other schools relevant, they don’t have the El Paso anchor dragging them down.

El Paso has certain stereotypes, some of which that are definitely true. Some aren’t, but El Paso doesn’t have favorable things good for it.

Other conferences don’t need a bilingual call center or Mexican food. They want recruits and English speaking tv sets. All the Eastern leagues don’t need to go out this far, they have plenty of schools to choose from in the central and eastern time zones. UTEP is a non-starter.

The MWC only needs UTEP because of its location and lack of other qualified schools. There’s only so much Senter can do. Having a competent football program and a NIT caliber basketball program, wouldn’t change anything right now.

The AAC or SBC wouldn’t have taken UTEP 2 years ago. The SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, would never take them. UTEP doesn’t have a lot of options going forward.

He can help the decision by making improvements in the Athletics especially the money making sports. Like I said by raising money, but right now President Wilson is the one that would be on the phone about what’s going on. She will tell him what she wants him to do and he’ll do it, Period! We need to be saying “We hope Wilson is really making a pitch for Utep to move into a better conference situation”

That doesn’t bother me. What do you say after giving a kid the hook? He can’t flat out say he wasn’t playing good and Cade went out there threw the ball with reckless abandon and almost undid everyone’s mistakes. Just like everyone else Walden is still learning on the job, and next time he’ll know he needs to have a better answer.

Yes, that’s a possibility. And I was told by someone with knowledge on the situation—Not firsthand.

Maybe I was lied to, or there was interest similar to Dumb and Dumber.
