2010 UNLV non-conference football schedule
- Sept. 4 -- vs. Wisconsin
- Sept. 18 -- at Idaho
- Sept. 25 -- at Hawaii
- Oct. 2 -- vs. UNR
- Oct. 9 -- at West Virginia
With the ability to add a 13th game to its 2010 football schedule, the UNLV football program decided to make it one that will turn some heads locally.
The Rebels have added national power West Virginia, which is sure to do the trick.
The schedule already included home non-conference tilts with Wisconsin and UNR, plus road contests at Idaho and Hawaii. However, the NCAA allows teams a 13th game on the schedule when traveling to Hawaii in an effort to offset the travel expenses.
The payout for UNLV's trip to Morgantown comes at a good time for the athletic department, which just yesterday announced a budget cut of more than $1 million. The Rebels will receive $740,000 in cash and $10,000 in tickets for the trip.
West Virginia is the home state of UNLV athletic director Mike Hamrick.
This will be the first ever meeting between the two programs, and will take place on Oct. 9, 2010.
UNLV's 2010 slate also includes road games at BYU and Utah during Mountain West Conference play.
