And the MWC will likely get a lot more late night TV allotments with the legacy PAC 12 teams seeing maybe half the evening air time (since half their new conference schedules will be CST or even EST). “Mountain West after dark” could become a thing the way the old WAC was in the 1990’s. They have a contract w/CBSSN; which is why I got to watch Wyoming play a lot. Interesting how they play at Allegiant Stadium but the Raidahs play on grass, they play on synthetic turf.

Matt is probably getting together with Derek Ng at some point during this visit-lot of Crusader points scored by those two

So one of the UNLV commits this weekend is our friend Clay Patterson (2 time first team All Ivy DL from Yale). He flipped from Illinois. Nice get for Rebels.

And a much more prestigious degree for Patterson. The vast majority of Ivy and PL portal players are grad transfers so that’s the default unless otherwise noted.

Can a player who is not yet enrolled in classes participate in spring football? I'm wondering if Matt can juggle completing his HC degree (which presumably would be required to enter a graduate program) with participating in spring football at UNLV or elsewhere.

That is a pretty long commute. Plus even a hefty NIL would be a problem paying for those trips.

Despite the ever-changing climate, I am 100% certain this would be an NCAA violation. As of now, you still have a to a student at the school you're playing a sport for.

Someone suggested on this or another thread that HC might allow him to complete his degree by transferring in a few credits from another school. I am just trying to figure out how he would be able to enroll in a graduate program which would make him eligible to participate in spring practice (assuming that is required) if he doesn't have an undergraduate degree.

I have no idea what any of the rules are but I am fairly confident Matt has already figured out a way to complete his HC degree and also participate in Spring football at his new school.

Off the Sluka track but UNLV's star All American receiver (Ricky White) is apparently being courted by the big boys with deep pockets, this would be a crusher on top of the departure of the star QB (to USC), and the local paper has this to say: According to multiple sources, White is set to make $60,000 at UNLV in 2024. That’s a big increase from last year, when the total NIL budget for the UNLV football team was minimal, but it might not be enough to fend off power programs dangling six-figure offers. lasvegassun.com/news/2024/jan/15/after-losing-qb-to-transfer-portal-unlv-backers-fi/Back to Sluka, UNLV is obviously looking to bring in two experienced QB's now to compete for the starting job. Campbell guy is one and they want Sluka to come in as the other. (This also gives the loser a chance to hit the second portal period AND UNLV retains the option of finding a second portal period guy should they wish.)

Supposedly the Palms is starting to support NIL for UNLV basketball. It's small support right now (and I imagine at least a little bit tricky from a legality standpoint), but that could be a game changer down the road for UNLV.

[br This yes, absolutely. But obviously to participate in practice at his new school, he'd have to be enrolled at that school. I'm sure HC will work with him as far as counting credits so he can walk in May and that such a plan has been in place w hid advisor already

UNLV - cool! Hope they don't lose Odom to Arizona.

Was just thinking the same thing on Odom. He’s top of the list along with Knowles (DC from Ohio State) and a few others. You thought we had it tough? Imagine losing your coach that just turned around a once proud but struggling program? Would have been like Ches moving on in year 2 or 3 vs 6! Arizona (and Washington for that matter) had to think they were safe this coaching carousel cycle and then all of a sudden a massive domino drops.
And now if Arizona hires a current head coach that program is really feeling it.

Spring semester starts today at UNLV. Spring football is basically the month of March
Sluka could have also earned credits during a HC summer session.

I think their first day of classes is tomorrow so we may hear from Matt very shortly if he decides to go to UNLV. Haven't heard of any other schools in the works for him. I have to think UNLV told the Campbell kid that their plan was to bring in two guys for competition (which with/if Matt is an interesting approach - two one-year FCS guys - in the first case.)

He'd take undergrad classes. Presumably ones that would be transferrable to Holy Cross and would cover whatever core requirements he's missing.

And if he's at HC this spring, I'd assume he'd be at HC in the fall given the limited transfer options.

He'd take undergrad classes. Presumably ones that would be transferrable to Holy Cross and would cover whatever core requirements he's missing. Maybe I found these rules on graduate student participation in the NCAA Bylaws which would not seem to apply to a student who needs a few classes to get an undergraduate degree.. I realize this is a rapidly changing world and that waivers are a thing, too. I also know that an athlete might be able to complete January term classes someplace which could count toward completing the HC degree--especially if the student needed only a couple of classes. I am sure that Matt and the coaches have this figured out. web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/bylawView?id=26466&view=rsro4.6 Graduate Student/Postbaccalaureate Participation. A student-athlete who is enrolled in a graduate or professional school of the same institution from which the student-athlete previously received a baccalaureate degree, a student-athlete who is enrolled and seeking a second baccalaureate or equivalent degree at the same institution, or a student-athlete who has graduated and is continuing as a full-time student at the same institution while taking course work that would lead to the equivalent of another major or degree as defined and documented by the institution, may participate in intercollegiate athletics, provided the student has eligibility remaining and such participation occurs within the applicable five-year period set forth in Bylaw 12.8 (see Bylaw 14.2.2.1.5). (Revised: 1/10/90, 1/16/93 effective 8/1/93, 7/31/14)
14.6.1 Postgraduate Transfer Exceptions. A student-athlete who is enrolled in an institution other than the institution from which the student-athlete previously received a baccalaureate degree and is enrolled in a graduate or professional school, is seeking a second baccalaureate or equivalent degree, or is enrolled as a full-time student while taking course work that would lead to the equivalent of a major or degree may participate in intercollegiate athletics if the student-athlete fulfills the conditions of an exception for transfers from four-year colleges set forth in Bylaw 14.5.5.2. (Adopted: 1/8/96 effective 7/31/96, Revised: 4/26/06, 1/5/07 effective 7/31/07, 4/27/11 effective 7/31/11, 7/30/14, 4/19/19, 4/29/20 effective 8/1/20 for a student-athlete who initially enrolls full time at the certifying institution on or after 8/1/20, 4/28/21 applicable to transfer student-athletes seeking eligibility during the 2021-22 academic year, 5/19/22 effective 8/1/22)
