Checked both sites but didn't see an announcement posted. Will check again later.

I'll throw in, just to stir the pot.

I'm no less qualified to run a Division-I, NCAA-compliant program than Strip Stallworth or TKM.

I have less experience in that realm than Jerry K., but even I would have had the good common sense to dump Sanford weeks ago, which K apparently did not.

dgump, Barrick may have the $500MM - $1 billion to invest, but the Ferittas don't, unless they plan to sell UFC to raise the funds, a move which would be plain crazy IMHO as UFC is worth far more long term than Station is likely to be worth.

Barrick could put the money in, but are Station's 18 properties really worth 500MM - 1 billion right now if you are Barrick??

There are a lot of better places to spend that kind of money right now.

First, why is the deal 'exclusive?'

Why not open the space up to all comers and award 'exclusive' rights to close the deal to whoever puts forward the best offer?

He's locked himself out of negotiating with anyone else for the space for the next 18 months and gotten nothing in the way of a commitment from them in return.

Second, why has the city spent 'years' on a deal Goodman admits would have taken a 'miracle' to get done?

I know his role is mostly 'pitchman' for the City selling every new project downtown like its snake oil, but if all you are going to do is sell deals to the masses, at least hire somebody with a brain to negotiate the deal for you so you don't end up getting screwed.

"If the Rebels can't beat a winless, coach-less team, then the new kids on the block will have to act."

We're the college football equivalent of the Washington Redskins right now. All we're missing is a Daniel Synder to call John Robinson out of retirement to call plays for Sanford for the rest of the season.

The Skins have managed to lose 3 of 5 against winless teams this season. I'm confident the Rebels can post an 0-1 against the winless.

Smart money says follow the smart money that bet this one down from UNLV - 3 to UNLV +1.

Then again, given the level of interest in Rebel football, your $20 teaser on the Lobos was probably all it took to move the line 4 points in their favor, Ron!

85 players on the roster!! What a concept!! Think maybe its no coincidence that the last time UNLV had a complete roster it finished 11-2 and won a bowl game?

How many players does Sanford have on scholarship? Is the number even at 60?
