UNLV isn't close to obtaining Pac-12 academic standards

and the athletic department has a history of scandals in multiple sports. Unless the Pac-12 is desperate to become the Pac-16, then I think UNLV is too radioactive for the conference to consider. Also, I am not sure if UNLV has the discipline required to clean up its act.

Nevada-Reno is maybe the safer choice. However, the academics is only slightly better than UNLV and still along way aways from Pac-12 standards. Plus, Reno isn't exactly a large city and the Wolfpack have small athletic venues. If the Pac-12 did end up adding Nevada-Reno, then it would be adding another Wazzou.

Time for PAC12 to look at Nevada? The Raiders are headed to Vegas. -- HOO86 03/27/2017 5:54PM

ESPN must be reading this board! -- HOO86 03/31/2017 10:03PM

UNLV to Pac-12 will happen the day after ECU to ACC ** -- DarylS 03/28/2017 3:34PM

0.00 chance that UNR joins PAC ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 03/28/2017 12:01AM

That's only 2 decimal places, so there's a chance, right? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/29/2017 07:38AM

If Reno quadruples in size and UNR jumps 150 spots in school rankings... -- CrystalCoveHokie 03/29/2017 09:48AM

So when does the Pac-12 make this announcement? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/29/2017 10:02AM

In the year 2525....If man is still alive....If woman can survive.... -- CrystalCoveHokie 03/29/2017 10:37AM

I agree that Nevada-Reno has no shot at joining the Pac-whatever -- VTHokie2000 03/28/2017 12:16PM

None of the geographically close schools out there are really attractive... -- CrystalCoveHokie 03/28/2017 12:54PM

As I said in my response to Maroon Baboon there are potential issues -- VTHokie2000 03/28/2017 2:14PM

What about the CA "State" schools? -- EDGEMAN 03/27/2017 6:09PM

San Diego State is probably the only Cali school that is -- VTHokie2000 03/27/2017 9:26PM

SDSU now could have an NFL-type stadium... -- Calamitous 03/27/2017 7:09PM

They somply do not want to finance a stadium -- Mercury 03/27/2017 11:05PM

USC and UCLA have great climates too and they bring in the fans. -- Old Line Hokie 03/28/2017 11:33AM

Pac12 teams outside California want to visit California more often. -- Maroon Baboon 03/27/2017 8:57PM

You are correct that the non-Cali schools want to visit Cali -- VTHokie2000 03/27/2017 9:40PM

I don't think UU, CU, UA and ASU want an eastern division with MWC 2.0 -- Maroon Baboon 03/27/2017 9:49PM

there's always wvu, kansas, kstate and uconn. . . . . . . . jk . . ** -- HtownHokie 03/28/2017 08:55AM

It may depend on which 4 schools were picked. -- VTHokie2000 03/27/2017 10:11PM
