I have an idea, and you’re going to think it’s crazy. Nevada athletics needs to terminate the football program.

If you haven’t been paying attention this season — and according to attendance numbers there are a lot of you —Nevada is 4-7 in what has been a terribly boring 2016 season. The fan turnout for Saturday’s Senior Day game against Utah State looked like a middle school play; in fact, it was the least attended game since at least 2011.
