Uteps NIL program

Don't know how you jump to that conclusion/assumption.

My point is that UTEP's athletics program sucks. It's hard to get out of the downward spiral we are in with out money, in the NCAA/NIL landscape we are in. Money is hard to come by in El Paso, and even when there might be money, the people with the money want Ohio St. vs Michigan at the Sun Bowl. And by money I mean disposable income, not suggar daddies like Phil Knight, the Walton family, or T. Boone Pickens.
That’s pretty much untrue, as the Sun Bowl is consistently “near capacity” almost every year. El Pasoans have shown up for a pretty mediocre bowl since the 90s. If there’s people clamoring for Ohio St and Michigan, it’s not effecting Sun Bowl attendance.

UTEP has probably close to 10k season tickets in football and probably 3500 in basketball. That’s a lot for a school that hasn’t done much since 1992.

El Pasoans have money, not as much as other places, and you see what they do with it for a mediocre product. What if we actually had good teams??? The problem is UTEP and winning.
