Interesting that they would schedule this when Bailey is on his mission?
at Utah
vs. UW
Neutral games- 2 of Pitt, SMU, Michigan
Home games- 2 of Howard, E. Michigan, IUPUI, Gardner-Webb
Not a bad start to the schedule.
Also is a game in the southwest for Howard if he commits. The University of Utah is about a 75 minute flight from Chandler, AZ
That was one of my thoughts. That, and maybe the idea of extending the deal to more than just two years.
I like the idea of playing schools out west, and wouldn't mind adding another like USC or ASU, and UNLV on a regular basis so we always have at least one game out west.
A lot of kids like Howard at Findlay Prep makes trying to get UNLV on the schedule pretty inviting for a lot of teams.
Not a bad road trip for fans either.
Don't know that the Findlay Prep people will appreciate schools using UNLV games to steal their recruits. President of Findlay Prep is a big UNLV booster.

UNLV doesn't come east much according to last year's schedule, or play teams in the east either. At Wichita State, and home against Indiana.
UNLV did play 4 Pack 12 teams.
I would think playing a game or two east would help the Running Rebels as well, seeing as Findlay Prep isn't not a school of local kids.
