Line 1:
The term '''Red Defection''' is a reference used by fans of the [[University of Nevada]] [[Wolf Pack]] to describe the events following the 1993 [[football]] [[season]] when former long-time Wolf Pack [[coach (sport)|coach]] and [[athletic director]] [[Chris Ault]]'s "hand-picked" successor, head coach [[Jeff Horton]], left the team to take the head coaching position at in-state rival [[UNLV]].
The [[North]] vs. [[South]] [[Sports rivalry|rivalry]] in [[Nevada]] is long-established and fervent, and it is no less heated when the teams from opposite ends of the state meet each other in [[athletic]] [[competition]]. The Wolf Pack, in the north, wear blue, and the [[Rebels]], in the south, wear red. Hence the "Red Defection" [[moniker]] when Horton left the North to take the UNLV gig.
