UNLV and UNR have different ideas how to make their football season more significant. The teams meet at noon Saturday in Reno.
UNLV was expected to move into Allegiant Stadium full time next season, but its games against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 5 and Arizona State on Sept. 12 might be played at Sam Boyd Stadium.
UNLV athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois announced Monday that she had fired football coach Tony Sanchez after five seasons.
Former UNLV All-America safety Jamaal Brimmer was one of more than 200 ex-players who took part in festivities before the Rebels’ victory over San Jose State on Saturday.
If UNLV decides to fire Tony Sanchez, athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois figures to conduct the same kind of search that landed basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger.
