Nevada Las Vegas’ legal battles with the NCAA over the last two decades have cost the university $1 million in legal fees and “there is no end in sight,” a report prepared by the school said.

The university has been involved in legal proceedings with the NCAA since Jerry Tarkanian became coach of the UNLV basketball team in 1973.

The 55-page document, submitted to a legislative committee investigating Tarkanian’s 1991 resignation, says the university has spent $600,000 in legal fees in the last five years defending Tarkanian and the basketball program against NCAA charges.

UNLV faces 35 charges of NCAA infractions and is awaiting word on possible sanctions.
