Play in front of sold out crowds of 100K+ in Columbus every Saturday on national spotlight TV or play in a 2/3rd empty stadium in Vegas with zero TV exposure. Hard choice!

Go to Vegas and stay at the new Circa hotel and watch every single college football game while in the pool enjoying 85 degree weather.

C'mon.

Go play 1 year at UNLV, have some fun, if you ball out transfer to a better program. Exactly what some of these players are doing.

You know what's better than one year of fun?

Two years of fun
 
Hey highly rated football recruits. Do you want to go play for a constant winning program that has proven time and time again to put hoards of players into the NFL? In front of packed crowds and constantly on primo TV to huge audiences watching?

Or do you want to go play for a program that is deep under .500 all time, almost never churns out winning teams, and who plays in front of 33% capacity crowds to zero TV audience and rarely gets players drafted?

Hard choice I know.

You are not an envisionary.

Imagine 5 years within the Pac-12 what UNLV can become. It's the potential there. No one is saying starting next year UNLV becomes a powerhouse, but 5 years within a power 5 conference and if they utilize their surrounding area and companies, yes, UNLV can be a very big program.

With the right coaching and recruiting coordinators, that highly rated football recruit chooses between playing at Ohio State where it gets 25 degrees from November-December when you're playing a quarter of your season, or choose to commit to Las Vegas where they can be in a 5 star hotel pool with smoke shows from all over enjoying 80 degree weather November-December.
 
You're living in an era where recruits are researching their desired programs through Sports Illustrated published magazines and ABC/CBS/FOX television exposure, in hopes their relatives will be able to see them on TV.

It's 2023. If you're not paying attention to social media and the current athletes mindset to build their own brand and do what is best for them now and in the future, you're doing it wrong.

UNLV is not pulling quality coaches away from established schools.

More likely than UNLV becoming a power in 5 years of being in the Pac 12 is them being a 0-3 win team yearly like Temple was when they jumped into the Big East. You are grasping at air for the Pac 12 to remain relevant.

You are comparing Temple, a college in Philafuckingdelphia to a college in Las Vegas.

In 2023 the top recruits are still mostly going to the same elite team destinations, you dingus.

NIL is mostly not causing elite recruits to drift away from Schools they'd be considering in the first place before anyway, there are a few exceptions but that's far from the "new norm" like you are trying to claim.

Temple and UNLV are very comparable programs in terms of being garbage programs. Though Temple has unarguably had better success. You keep trying to compare UNLV to Utah who had years of sustained success before jumping to the Pac 12. Comical.
 
:pound: :pound: :pound: UNLV, who can barely ever even get to a bowl game, is suddenly going to be competing with Bama/UGA/Ohio State/Etc for the top recruits if they went to the Pac 12. This stupidity is beyond belief.

Because UNLV at their current spot in the G5 is not really an option for those recruits. Get them into a Power 5 conference and they become a big option.

Check Utah's recruiting rankings before and after joining the PAC. It jumped after a couple years.

The hilarious part is you think UNLV can not grow once in a Power 5 conference. That if they joined a Power 5 conference they would remain stuck with their 1 and 2 star recruits, stuck with their poor coaching and end up having zero growth.

No they do not. You are completely delusional if you think UNLV jumping into a completely weakened Pac 12 makes them a "prime destination" for recruits on the level of Bama/UGA/Ohio State/Etc.

Man, imagine a recruit in California deciding between Utah or UNLV. Especially in a few years when Whittingham is likely to retire. Do I want to go play in Salt Lake City, Utah or do I want to go play in Las Vegas? Again, this is if UNLV is in the Pac-12.
 
-Recruiting visit to Salt Lake City, gets to go out to have a bite to eat, got to get back to the hotel soon as things close down by 8pm.

-Recruiting visit to Vegas and get's treated to a private pool party at the Cosmopolitan.

Gee golly wiz I wonder where that 18 year old goes.
