I live in Vegas. Former UofO wrestler under Finley. I will say these statements.

UNLV football has sucked!

However this season they are killing it!

I will bet that if UNLV football continues to be successful, NIL money will pour in from MGM, Caesars, and local businesses! The goal would be to fill up The Stadium. I think it will happen. I can see a path and with National powerhouse Bishop Gorman….bet on 5 stars staying home and going to UNLV. 50 million in NIL money to UNLV football pays dividends to casinos. Not to mention it gives locals a reason to go to the strip. I see this happening and fast. I also say that if UNLV keeps its powder dry for another season….they maybe dreaming of a better conference than Pac12. Maybe markets that will travel in mass to Vegas games and fill up rooms on alternate weekends to the Raiders. Way h it happen. Think Tark UNLV basketball in the 80’s where players were paid to play. It’s legal now. I see UNLV football as a future powerhouse built with casino cash to drive roommates and fill up hotels. Yes it will happen
