Rather than waiting for the football season to end, as previously planned, UNLV is speeding up its search for a permanent athletic director.

For those who have lived in Las Vegas since the mid-1980s and follow golf, the 2009 inductees to the Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame will be familiar.
The UNLV men’s golf team shot 5-over-par 293 Sunday in the final round of the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational, taking third in the 19-team field at Air Force Academy, Colo.
As the most veteran staffer in UNLV’s athletic department, assistant equipment manager Larry Chin has spent 35 years with sweat-soaked uniforms. It’s a career Chin never planned on, but fell into as a junior at Western High School when he realized that at 5 feet 6 inches and 155 pounds, he was too small to continue to play football. He became team manager and eventually received a scholarship at UNLV to serve as a student manager.
As a senior center fielder, J.J. Sferra batted leadoff for UNLV. On the third day of the major league draft, he filled the same role.
It’s supposed to be a team sport, but without a teammate to deliver a crushing block or a beautiful pass, track truly is an individual competition.
A decision that would play a major role in the course of his life faced Ryan Thornton three years ago. He had two choices, and one was very tempting.
Michael Bowen’s single in the ninth inning lifted Brigham Young to a 5-4 victory over UNLV on Wednesday and eliminated the Rebels from the Mountain West Conference baseball tournament at Fort Worth, Texas.
Junior right-hander Tyler Lavigne pitched superbly and got plenty of offensive support as San Diego State routed UNLV 12-1 in Tuesday’s first round of the Mountain West Conference baseball tournament at Fort Worth, Texas.
College athletic departments across the country are eliminating sports and jobs. While UNLV has been able to avoid such measures, the outlook isn’t exactly rosy.
San Diego State coach Tony Gwynn said he will hold his ace and not use pitcher Stephen Strasburg against UNLV in today’s Mountain West Conference baseball tournament.
This time of year arrives and Buddy Gouldsmith takes a stroll across hot coals, a tradition becoming more and more hazardous with UNLV’s latest losing baseball season.
Near the end of his sophomore year at Arizona State, J.J. Sferra was ready to call it quits on his baseball career. He had grown tired of the game he grew up playing.
By the end of the baseball season, UNLV coach Buddy Gouldsmith might be ready to run a marathon. He seemed to be training for one Tuesday night, repeatedly trotting from the dugout to the mound to change pitchers.
UNLV’s Dwaine Knight has coached golf long enough to know the surest path to a berth in the NCAA Championships is to win the league tournament.
