In this week’s edition of Murray’s Mailbag, presented by Laub and Laub, the focus was on questions regarding a potential full merger between the PAC and MWC conferences, media rights deals, Nevada’s inclusion in conference realignment discussions, and playing time decisions in Nevada basketball.
Fans were curious about how a potential PAC/MWC merger would be structured, with questions about divisional alignments and the impact of planned conference additions. There was speculation about a significant gap in media rights deals between the two conferences, with concerns about possible overpaid sweetheart deals favoring one conference over the other. However, it remains uncertain if this will be the case once negotiations are complete.
Discussions also touched on Nevada’s role in conference realignment, with a shift in sentiment suggesting the university may now be more desirable. Despite this, there are still factors preventing a potential move.
In terms of Nevada basketball, questions arose about Coach Alford’s handling of player rotations, specifically regarding Xavier Dusell’s playing time compared to Jarod Lucas. Fans expressed a desire for Dusell, considered the best shooter in the conference, to have more playing time and opportunities to showcase his skills without being taken out of the game frequently.
Lastly, there was speculation about Nevada basketball’s performance this season, with a question about the team’s chances of finishing above .500. Fans are eager to see how the team will fare as the season progresses.
Overall, this week’s Murray’s Mailbag segment covered a range of fan inquiries and provided some insight into the current state of college sports in Nevada.
