Games will be flexed to Thursday and Friday night to accomodate FOX and CBS Sports, the MWC's new television partners.
UNLV will open on the road at San Diego State on October 24. The traditional in-state rival game for the Fremont Cannon against UNR will be held on October 31 instead of closing the season. UNLV will have three additional home games: November 7 - Fresno State; November 28 - Wyoming; December 5 - Boise State.
