We know another guy that recruits well but can't coach. He's down at UT right now coaching the men's basketball team.

That’s a valid point Killer. Again, I’m cautiously optimistic about Walden turning things around. Im just pointing out that he’s been able to recruit good talent to EP, while other coaches had excuses. We did have a couple of close losses that could have ended up in wins. I’m not drinking the kool aid yet, but he’s moving in the right direction. Many of us asked for a QB transfer and he’s getting us that guy. Let’s see what the new QB can do.

I was also an outspoken critic of the guy that’s now at UT and saw him as a great recruiter, but a poor coach. Not to make excuses, but it’s harder to turn a football team around in one year as compared to basketball. This is just based on the number of players involved in football. Next season will be the big test for Walden to show what type of coach he is. It will be his second season at UTEP and the pressure is on him to have a winning season. We will have two returning QBs that played considerably last year, good receivers, a good RB, and a decent OL. We lost some good talent on the defensive side via graduation and transfers. I’ve stated before we need to revamp our special teams and bring in a better coach, kicker and punter. Let’s see what Walden can do in his second season.

Walden has been able to assemble two back to back top CUSA recruiting classes at UTEP. Many coaches said that was not possible at UTEP and he’s proven them wrong. What’s remarkable about this is the fact that he did it with limited or no NIL money. What remains to be seen is how much improvement will we see this upcoming season. With the talent we have we should have a winning record, compete for conference title and get to a bowl game. If Walden does well, he deserves to move up to a bigger program.

What are the entrance/exit fees for leaving CUSA and joining MWC. I bet that's what the money is for.

NIU is paying $2,000,000 to join the MWC. Senter mentioned the MWC was helping UTEP with those fees to join. We can believe that UTEP will actually pay less than that or nothing at all.

CUSA signed a 5 year rights deal beginning in 2023-24, so this is year 2 and the Miners will play in year 3. They will owe 2 years of money to leave, so they will need to pay CUSA at least $1,600,000.

3 million exit (from this thread). Entry is probably somewhere in there but I’m not doing the research as in a meeting now
