Vice Chairman Mc Bride called the meeting to order and President
Goodall reported that the Executive Council of the Pacific Coast
Athletic Association had met the morning of Friday, November 13,
and voted to authorize the Association Commissioners to enter in-
to an agreement with UNLV providing for membership in the con-
ference. Dr. Goodall therefore requested authorization from the
Board of Regents for UNLV to enter into this agreement, stating
that Dr. Rothermel and the Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
supports this request.
Mr. Buchanan moved that the Board approve President Goodall's
recommendation for UNLV's entrance into the Pacific Coast Ath-
letic Association. Motion seconded by Mrs. Fong and carried
without dissent by roll call vote.
Mr. Mc Bride asked President Crowley to comment on the possibil-
ity of UNR applying for membership in the PCAA. Dr. Crowley
stated that at the time UNR entered the Big Sky Conference, con-
sideration was given to affiliation with the PCAA but UNR did not
believe it could meet the seating and attendance requirements of
that conference.
In response to a question from Mrs. Fong as to whether or not
UNLV will continue to play the larger schools it presently has
scheduled, Dr. Rothermel stated that UNLV has entered into nego-
tiations with the University of Hawaii for an 8-game schedule
beginning in 1985 and, in 1986, San Diego State will also be back
on the schedule.
The meeting adjourned at 3:17 P.M.
