UNLV head coach Josh Pastner has released a statement after jokingly (we think) trying to sell his men’s basketball program for $10 million.
The official UNLV men’s basketball account on X posted an ad that read, “D1 basketball team for sale.”
Pastner’s statement clarified that the program isn’t literally for sale:

The original post came from Pastner’s comments that instead of buying an NBA team in Las Vegas, a potential owner should just buy the Runnin’ Rebels:
