LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegasicon1.png Mayor Carolyn Goodman is making good on a bet with the mayor of Denton, after UNLV lost a bowl game last week.

Goodman will sport a University of North Texas T-shirt at a Wednesday morning City Council meeting. She’s already paid $100 to the UNT athletic department.

Yes it would have been awkward. Isn't it still illegal to place a bet in Nevada on the outcome of a game involving a team from Nevada?

I had been under that impression, but the HOD bowl had vegas lines. Also, I can't imagine the sports books would just have shut down back in UNLV's championship basketball runs. Like, nope. Not gonna take those hundreds of millions in handle because the team is from Nevada.

I imagine this is one of those issues that is difficult to resolve unless one were to call an active Nevada sportsbook and find someone answering the phone who is both knowledgable and patient enough to answer.

A quick google search and I found this comment on a story about an NHL team moving to Vegas. So someone in authority over the team or league or NCAA would have to request it to be illegal.

Speaking of the gambling law
The current laws in Nevada say that betting on an NHL game held in Nevada, or where one of the teams is Nevada-based, is illegal if the NHL Commissioner requests that they be illegal. This could be the main problem with having an NHL team in Vegas, just as it's a problem with an NBA team moving there.

      I think that McCarney’s exit just burned the decision makers here to ever pay for a name coach with actual experience as a successful FBS coach from a previous stop. Like I’ve always said, this place needed a head coach that would galvanize the entire UNT Family. Make us want to follow him because we have seen that he can do something. Make us believe that we aren’t just some spare place on the CFB map, like most media and fans think outside of gmg.com. But the portal and NIL sort of burns all of that up now. When you can’t keep talent because it can be bought away at any time, the coaches at a place like this can’t afford to miss on recruiting, development, or coaching hires. It makes it really hard to build momentum in any fashion, knowing that your players and coaches are bought the moment that a Power School calls.

      I also give to the collectives and would like my money back from every athlete that transferred. I know it doesn’t work that way though. After losing ALMOST all of our good players from the football team AND basketball team to the transfer portal, I do question why I continue to give to the collectives. The answer, I guess, is that maybe it helps us attract new players to replace the good players that we used to have who left us through the portal. That is the only reason I am still giving. Anyone have any other reasons to help justify it?

      Name an upside...any. I wanted litrell gone more than most, but we settled for thrift store coach instead? Sure, he speaks instead of mumbles, but there are no results

      I have given to Harry's collective as did others and still saw our roster decimated by other poaching schools. I realize this is a necessary evil, but it's discouraging to give hard earned money when an athlete is going to leave regardless.
