"Nevada's win cost themselves nearly $1 million and the remaining WAC schools about $9 million."

Don't know if any of yall saw this. Thought it was interesting.

Ouch. A&M thought it sucked when they beat Texas and dropped in the polls. This just plain sucks for Nevada.:furious3:

My brother in law, a UNR grad, scoffed when I pointed this out.

Sucks for the school but they are so overwhelmed with joy, I think it will be a while (if ever) before any of them figure this out.

Also... another funny side effect of Nevada's victory. Outside chance they go play in the Humanitarian Bowl now... on the blue turf in Boise. If it happens, I'm sure the good people of Boise will give them a gracious and warm welcome... :whistling:

How much money did LSU cost the SEC when the prevented us from being killed by Miami in the 2001 BCSNCG?
