Old leadership, yes.

Heather Wilson has an expansive resume. She was Secretary of the Air Force. That budget alone is in the 100's of billions. UTEP's #'s are nothing relative to what she was managing prior. We are in good hands. She knows more than us keyboard warriors.

Gee! Thanks!

Any season of Mike Price football was more exciting and successful than anything else UTEP had ever seen.

You sure about that?
2006: 5-7 (3-5)
2007: 4-8 (2-6)
2008: 5-7 (4-4)
2009: 4-8 (3-5)
2010: 6-7 (3-5)
2011: 5-7 (2-6)
2012: 3-9 (2-6)

Why did some fans tolerate 7 straight losing seasons? 6 of the 7 seasons they were below .500 in CUSA, with 3 of those having 2-6 records.

If you bought a ticket to see Mike Price coach after the 2008 season and didn’t tell anyone you were displeased with the product, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Same with all the other lame ass coaches we kept too long.

Any season of Mike Price football was more exciting and successful than anything else UTEP had ever seen. The Jrz Cartel War hurt recruiting and success dwindled. Patterson was the hire after Price, Stull blew it with Kugler. That's the point of no return. That's when shit really hit the fan, the hiring of Sean Kugler.

In another sport we’d call that a strip fumble and a heck of a defensive play. 🏈

All the "Negative Nellies" on here are missing one thing: Time. It takes time to assemble all the moving parts to this Conference Shaping equation. The fact that nothing has been announced, as it pertains to us, is not proof of anything. Not pro or con. Both Conferences have the Skeleton in place either by choice or by rejection, and now they need to be fleshed out. Some people think that the less current choices there are, the more value UTEP acquires.

I’m just saying at the end of all of this … not now just saying when it’s all wrapped up

Well thankfully I won’t blame myself since I have not lived in El Paso since 1995 …. 😂

If Utep is in cusa after all of this — we deserve what we get … I will have lost all hope

3 domino's have to fall at some point but when? It can't take too long because schools need to start preparing for the transition.

Because it's El Paso isn't that enough of an explanation?

That’s unfortunately not a legal reason to withhold those funds lol I don’t believe that’s the case. All 5 schools who remained will get an equal sum if it’s nut still help up in litigation. Some of ya’ll Miner fans really believe non sense lol

I think we knew that but we thought that with the mess they have going, we’d find a way in.

Jim Senter back on Aug 6th on Sportstalk, discussing joining the MWC:

"In a lot of ways, it makes a lot of sense to be traveling up and down the spine of the Rocky Mountains, playing teams that we used to play 20,30,40 years ago. The flip side is YOU HAVE TO BE INVITED, THEY HAVE TO WANT YOU........... For us to be attractive we need to do the best job that we can at winning and competing for championships. And having a dynamic and engaged fanbase."

I don't think they really elaborated on why, just that they had not heard of any such payout. I believe it was supposed to be around $5M, so that is a pretty substantial amount if UTEP never got it.

I wonder if it went to the former FCS schools to help with their transition. Even so, UTEP should've fought harder for their share. Would be nice to meet a follow up from them.

That's interesting. Any reason why not? I remember it was a substantial sum, compared to the annual media deal.

Let’s have the El Paso taxpayers spend millions of dollars on a wall so that natty who doesnt live in EP doesn’t have to see the lower parts of Juarez. Brilliant!

Money well spent lol it wasn’t really even related to this topic, it was a response to a comment about it, so let’s move back on topic fellas

They also mentioned they didn't think UTEP received any money as a result of the previous defections from CUSA. Fwiw.

I hate to say I agree. I one time had a dumb girl come visit me from Phoenix and thought that was El Paso smh!!! It’s not pretty, sorry it may be an interesting dynamic being so close, but it looks like a 3rd world country next door. In this manner I support the wall and blocking that view, sorry if I offend, I said what I said! It’d be different if it was a pretty view or nice neighborhood.

They should build a 100 meter tall x 3 mile long screen wall that shows a different scenery across the border.

Anyone know if this accurate?

According to them, they’re getting their numbers directly from the universities published numbers.
