How professional sports in Las Vegas could impact UNLV

Las Vegas, the largest city in the United States without a professional sports franchise, may be awarded their first on Wednesday afternoon after the NHL holds their Board of Governors meeting.

Over the past few months, there have been an abundance of rumors flying around about both the NHL and NFL moving into the Las Vegas market.

Well, the wait on one of those rumors may finally be coming to an end.

During Wednesday's NHL Board of Governors meeting, it's widely believed that the NHL will confirm all the rumors that surfaced last week, and announce that the league will be giving Las Vegas an expansion team beginning with the 2017-2018 season.
