Bill Moos caught himself Monday saying “us” about the UNLV athletic department he hopes to run. … “I’m talking like I already have the job,” said the 58-year-old former Oregon athletic director, one of three finalists for UNLV’s AD position. … That remains to be seen. … UNLV president Neal Smatresk could make a decision as soon as tonight, after interviewing the final candidate, Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood.
Jim Livengood didn’t wait for anyone to ask, quickly addressing at this morning’s forum his motivation for wanting to become UNLV’s next athletic director. “I’m not interested in retiring. I’m interested in working,” he said. “I am incredibly interested in trying to become (the) new athletic director at University of Nevada, Las Vegas.”
