Dynasty Update: Whole Lotta Shakin' (Up) Goin' On

Well, Ace Journeyman will be coaching a BCS team next season, but he didn't have to leave Reno to do it. Finally tired of Washington State's non-competitiveness, the PAC-10 has dropped the Cougars in favor of Nevada. Rumor has it that Ace was entertaining offers from Clemson and Minnesota before the invite, but once the regents accepted, he was fully on board and vested in making the Wolfpack a true conference contender. The schedule looks brutal by WAC standards, going from one or two BCS foes a season to nine, plus regular standing rivalries with New Mexico and UNLV, leaving only one free non-conference game...and that slot filled by Notre Dame in 2016 and a series with Boise State in 2017-18. Journeyman will have his work cut out for him, having to build a mid-level program into a true BCS contender and giving up road games to 12,000 seat WAC stadiums in exchange for the Cathedrals of college football. On the upside, California has become a pipeline state for recruiting and more and more 4-star players are interested in Reno...but it will truly be an uphill battle. Truthfully, most know that Ace still holds out a dream to coach at his alma mater, but the challenge now is to turn Nevada into a BCS competitor.We shall see...
