That's probably true. He would be an absolute home run to replace Geddes on the Board of Regents, too. But I'm too self

WTF would he take that gig? You or I take that gig, not a former governor. Geddes is basically donating his time and is involved in a chit ton of causes. The only power that board has is bequeathed by Vegas newspapers looking for excuses to its problems.

Their are fiefdoms within any large University and they all want their needs met. Any candidate will have his/her detractors but Sandoval has a good reputation on campus.  I think you'd be hard pressed to find a person more qualified to manage the competing interests of a University than a popular governor of a purple state who left after 8 years with an approval rating near 70%. His politics are squishy and moderate but that should help him with the neoliberal factions on campus.   

Please define "squishy" politics. :shrug:

But I agree, definitely moderate. Wish we had more like him.

If your politics rest far to the right, a moderate Republican qualifies as squishy or a RINO. If your politics rest far to the left, moderate Dems qualify as corporatists and might as well be Republicans.

He wouldn’t, but he’d fix the Regents. I was just speaking hypothetically

This is a good definition. The real tragedy is neither party advocates for "conservative" or "liberal" policies.  They are all on team Plutocrat.

The Board of Regents as a governing body has enormous constitutional powers in Nevada. I disagree with your conclusion.
