To build a strong fan base in Southern Nevada, UNLV would need to build a solid, exciting program. Something capable of catching the interest of the younger generation. A makeover similar to what Oregon has orchestrated over the past few decades. Think explosive offenses, flashy uniforms and swag, and exciting storylines. They would need a real gimmick or hook to attract fans and recruits. A program to match the glitz of Vegas.

It would take a mega-donor with real vision to pull off this type of project. They would also need a big-name flashy hype machine (like Coach Prime—but with some substance) to be the face of this type of project. With relaxed NIL rules, it is now much easier to LEGALLY attract talent vs. when they had their incredible basketball run under Tark.
