What would you do with $2-5 million?
Buy a reasonably priced home? Not in this market. What about paying off some debt? That's a reasonable idea. Set aside a little to wager on some college football? Could win or lose yourself some money that way. (It is Vegas we're talking about after all.) You could also buy roughly 2 million Mountain Dew Baja Blasts from Taco Bell if you are like me and love the Bell.
But, as one of our recent SB Nation Reacts Surveys will show, plenty of you would use that chunk of change to purchase the UNLV men's basketball team that is TOTALLY NOT FOR SALE if you ask Josh Pastner (again).
Forty percent of voters picked the $2-5 million range, which felt like a low-ball given how that is the going rate for some of college sport's most coveted players. How much can one UNLV men's basketball be worth? Possibly one whole Yaxel Lendeborg, apparently.
Thirty percent picked $10 million and up, which was what UNLV head coach Josh Pastner valued his team at when he jokingly said someone should buy the program, which started this fun hypothetical — one that feels all too possible with private equity and venture capital circling our beloved college sports.
