LAS VEGAS — Steve Stallworth began wooing Kansas and Florida to the Orleans Arena, the newish barn he managed for Michael Gaughan on the premises of a casino with a sportsbook, nearly 20 years ago.
In May 2006, the NCAA abolished a rule stating it had to certify such games. But even UNLV, where he played quarterback, declined Stallworth’s invitation, instead opting to play a home game in Utah when a rodeo occupied its gym.
