For a Mountain West that has 11 members for basketball and 12 for football, including UNLV, how it reacts to a sudden defection could shape the league for its foreseeable future.
UNLV
The UNLV football team faced a downpour at its first spring practice Wednesday morning. The Rebels are trying to move forward after the death of Ryan Keeler.
Former UNLV coach Jeff Horton is reflecting on more than four decades of football after retiring, but many of his ex-players are asking about his wife’s famous dessert.

Barry Odom is the new UNLV football coach who said it’s his goal to keep Las Vegas high school players home to play for the Rebels.

Matt Fyle, who has made his mark in the realm of strength and conditioning, leads that part of UNLV’s program, a major reason the Rebels have become bigger, faster and stronger.
The Rebels, who lost six games last season by one score or less, think they have improved enough to turn such defeats into victories this season.
UNLV is 2-16 under coach Marcus Arroyo and has only one winning season this century. But sportsbooks expect the Rebels to show marked improvement this season.
