Fili, I believe the Sun Bowl Association rents out the stadium for the game.
The teams do not practice at UTEP.
Why would the Association play in a smaller stadium when they can still draw over 40,000? I also remember the rent was like a dollar. That was part of the agreement when the county transferred ( or sold) the stadium to UTEP.

Who owns the Sun Bowl name?? Is the stadium named the Sun Bowl?

They should play in a smaller stadium because they don't do anything to help Utep. When Utep was the one who started playing in the game .it was El Paso who supports the game and made it what it is today. Utep has the most Sun Bowl wins in the history. The Rose Bowl let's USC play in its game.

Anyways, one of the more vocal UNLV fans on twitter seem to have soured on MWC. I expect them and AFA be gone first chance they get. (NMSU in when that happens?)

How would you be feeling if we were all UNLV fans at this point? All the “good” teams left and basically “we” decided not to follow them.

The MWC replaced San Diego, Boise, Fresno, Colorado St, and Utah St with Hawaii, UTEP, GCU, UCDavis, and NIU. 1 group is clearly better than the other. Not to mention the other group added Gonzaga.

Instead of playing Gonzaga and San Diego St in basketball, they’re playing UC Davis and Hawaii in 2 seasons.

The way that we felt when CUSA was down to 5 teams and added all the schools there now, is how they all feel

The Sun Bowl is on the Utep Campus. I hate when you guys say Utep has nothing to do with the Sun Bowl. Utep should kick the Sun Bowl out then have them play Soccoro Field or El Paso High. Utep can start its own own bowl game. The stadium is what makes the Sun Bowl, the Stadium that is own by Utep. Does the Sun Bowl organization pay Utep to have its game there?? What does the contract say?

Do you retain any information you see on here? UTEP has nothing to do with the Sun Bowl game. Any announcement regarding the Sun Bowl game would not be made at a UTEP event.

Looking at the new conference, it is a huge upgrade in name brand G5s as opposed to the current situation. I'm sure other MWC fans aren't happy but this ended up being great for us.

As for NIU, they're going to make more money and won't have to play as many weekday games in football. I would hate having 2 conference affiliations but money rules the world.

I would guess the Lobo and Rebel fans would be most upset at their current situation, which doesn’t have a lot to do with UTEP.

NIU might make more money and might not have to play Tuesday and Wednesday games. Those things still may change.

I don’t have a problem with 2 conferences. Makes sense if you can get a regional non-football league.

As a UTEP fan, I like this move and it’s probably the best they could do. If NIU was my team, I’m not so sure this is a good move.

Still waiting to see what the Pac ends up doing.
