Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series detailing what the next UNLV athletic director faces. Part I, which appeared Sunday, took an overall look at the program and the parameters of the search. Part II looks at the state of the football and men’s basketball programs.
UNLV is winning conference championships and making postseason appearances at a near historic rate, capturing four league titles last spring and sending three teams this past fall to the postseason.
As is the case at most schools, however, most fans care about football and men’s basketball and little else, and that’s where the problem lies.
