Other selling points for this unlikely scenario:

We have a cheap buyout compared to other options and are in the footprint of the West. Travel and travel costs wouldn't be too much of a burden. We also bring them into Texas obviously far away from the Texas Triangle but still closer than their current schools. It seems like the city is producing a higher caliber of athlete as well, some of which are P5 level. We are University that owns its own market and still somehow puts 1 or 2 large crowds in the Sun Bowl a year despite the on the field product.

We can dream.

It shouldn’t be a hard sell if PAC-12 level opposition came to El Paso in both football and basketball. The big question is whether football can elevate themselves to where they can make a competitive game out of that type of opposition.

No, that's not how young people talk.

I don’t feel sorry for him. That’s just how young people talk. Kids in HS today freely fling around the N word here in El Paso.

Do you go to high school or do you work in high school? Why would you even think that the "N word" is being widely used?

If you read the article, it’s the same account he’s had since he was in high school.

But those gay tweets started when he was in college. It's weird how you are defending this moron.

No, this is not how normal high school kids talk. It might have been your culture and the stupid kids you hung out with in high school, but this is certainly very far from the norm.

Think about when you were in HS, if there was an outted gay kid, everyone called them the f word.

No, "everybody" didn't called gay kids the "f word". It's weird how you think "everybody" uses those words.

I went to high school years before the tweets and none of that happened. Nobody cared if you were gay.

I disagree, man. The PAC12 has few remaining options yet they still need schools. UTEP is in a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity right now. They can get into the PAC12 if Wilson/Senter are savvy enough to pull it off.

But if we as fans and alumni and the city want this move as well, are we willing to put our money where our mouth is and help fund a move as well? We would need to give and help support the projects that UTEP feel is necessary.

It's an actual exhibition game. Looks like a high school team. They don't even have matching uniforms. They should've at least played a pro team or something. They should've asked Randy Culpeper if could play against his old team.

There was a practice this week, and there will be an exhibition in a couple more weeks.

I think “sight set on” means a realistic goal one has, not a dream/fantasy scenario.

If the Pac 12 didn’t want UNM, they sure as fvck do not want UTEP. UTEP to the Pac 12 is a nonstarter. Not happening now or ever.

If I was a betting man I’d say this is Uteps odds at this moment… Utep has it sights set on the PAC, but PAC is going to want a much larger Athletic Commitment and improvement in facilities. It doesn’t help that we don’t have very many men’s programs like baseball and soccer. Utep should absolutely do this though if the opportunity is even close to being there as in the long run it will be the wisest future money move. The MWC move is also a decent play. A bit of a smaller Athletic commitment and comparable to what we already spend, yet a significant increase in TV revenue expected to be about 3-4 million per school after a new deal gets done as opposed to 3/4 of a million that we get now. Utep could get on track with Football and Basketball and Profits for a couple of years and then see if PAC has interest at that point. CUSA is the safe chicken 🐔 Sh** move that no Miner fan really wants.

PAC 12 25%
MWC 40%
Stays in CUSA 35%

Seriously, Natty. Everything you said there has been said by others, including me, and we didn't need a "source" inside UTEP to say exactly what you just said.

Pac12 not dead?

3) We are still in play. Stop acting like ***** on social media, it's embarrassing AF! Isn't this the reason for social media?

Pac12 not dead?

The cities are more similar than people realize. TJ and Juarez yes. Not San Diego and El Paso

Slow down, friend. Take a breath. Read what others are saying before you regurgitate the same thing while claiming you heard it from a "source" inside UTEP.
