"I strongly concur with the sentiments expressed by Colorado State President Al Yates about our unanimous selection of Craig Thompson to head the new Division I athletics conference. The caliber of candidates we had for this position was gratifying, and I am confident that Craig will be an effective advocate for the eight institutions in the conference. UNLV very much looks forward to working with him as we continue to complete work on other important matters related to the formation of the new conference."
