Part of the deal of building Allegiant Stadium and securing public funding for a portion of its cost was to provide a new home for UNLV football, as the Rebels looked to move on from the aging Sam Boyd Stadium. With little success on the field historically for the Rebels, having a new NFL-level stadium to go along with the on-campus Fertitta Football Center training facility, the university hoped the program’s status in college football could improve along with the new facilities. It took a few seasons, but UNLV began to see the program shift dramatically, leading to historic seasons in 2023 and 2024.

In the high-stakes world of college athletics, victories on the field often overshadow those in the classroom. But at UNLV, a quiet revolution is taking place that deserves applause from every corner of the valley.

It marks the 16th consecutive semester that UNLV’s student-athletes have achieved a department-wide GPA of 3.0 or higher.
