Son: Dad, can we go to the Warriors game to try to get Steph Curry's autograph?

Dad: Sorry son. You're 15 and old enough to drive a car, so you're not allowed to get autographs.

Son: I understand Dad, but I want you to now call me Daniela, instead of Daniel. I am now your daughter, not your son. I also want to get gender reassignment surgery.

Dad: Sure Daniela. I will make an appointment for you on Monday. You are definitely allowed to make that decision.

You should keep this in-house and complain to your dad about why he didn't let you do it, chica.

I agree with others that have suggested coaches should forget about redshirting players. With the NIL and transfer portal, coaches should milk the players for all they can, while they can. If the players aren’t going to commit four years to the university, why should coaches give them an extra year to use up their eligibility?

In some cases, I agree. But say you have a freshman whom you believe has tremendous potential, but he needs time in the weight room and more practice before he's ready to contribute. It makes sense to redshirt him, especially if he wasn't highly recruited. In this situation, where will this kid be able to transfer? Once that they've shown they can play, I agree, it makes no sense to save eligibility for another team.

I can understand wanting to see a game played outside of The Don, especially against a lesser quality opponent like Sul Ross. But think about this. UTEP isn’t going to make a whole lot of revenue from this home game, after you factor staff, security, utility usage, etc. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if UTEP ends up losing money. So why would UTEP consider adding the added expense of RENTING the Coliseum or a school district gym? Neither the county nor the local school districts are going to provide their facilities to UTEP free of charge. Yes, you could play in Memorial Gym as sort of a nostalgic experience. However, the gym is very antiquated, and with The Don right next door, why bother to begin with?

Because it’s trying something different and UTEP doesn’t need an 11,900 seat arena for D2 games. They don’t need it when they’re mediocre on top of that.

If UTEP played Sul Ross at a 5,000 seat arena, the atmosphere would be different and quite possibly more fun. Instead UTEP will play 3 non-D1 teams in front of a 1/3 full arena. Oh boy.

UTEP had a practice at Eastwood. Why not play a game there?
