TJ to UNLV?

I've seen the TJ to UNLV speculation for a week or so. It makes sense from a career perspective to move up a level to the Mountain West from the Summit especially with Daum leaving. He has some west coast recruiting ties due to his time at Washington.

TJ at Nebraska would actually be more competitive from a recruiting standpoint than Fred will be.
 
They cycle through coaches who never win, even as they cycle through great talent. Maybe he can do it, but it just seems like there is something poisonous in the program out there.
Yeah, Hookers, blow and gambling.
