Nevada will pay Arizona a token $200,000 to play the final portion of a home-and-home football series in Reno, Sept. 12. The Wildcats might not get Nevada’s full attention. A week later, Nevada will earn $1.5 million for playing at Texas A&M, which is 7 percent of the Wolf Pack’s $21 million athletic budget. Nevada has also agreed to play at Oregon for $650,000 in 2019 and at Washington for $500,000 a year earlier. That’s life in a small conference.
